History
At the time of its construction, Sunvalley Shopping Center was the largest air-conditioned shopping center in the world. The shopping center opened on August 5, 1967 and is 1,333,000 square feet. Among the tenants in the Mall's early days were a Worlds Fare food court made up of international restaurants but also including staples like donuts and Kentucky Fried Chicken; a post office, ice skating rink, piano-organ stores, art gallery, pet shop, and other unusual stores, accented by cages of rare birds connecting both levels and water fountains in numerous locations.
On December 23rd, 1985, a twin-engine light plane crashed into the mall after missing its initial landing attempt at nearby Buchanan Field. Seven people died, including three on the plane, and seventy-seven were injured. The accident caused $3.5 million in damages to the mall.
In 1991, the Center completed a two-year $40 million renovation which included installing 198 skylights, Italian marble walkways and chrome and glass railings.
In 2012, Sunvalley Shopping Center completed a multimillion-dollar renovation, which included new stylish mall entrances with illuminated signage, seating and landscaping. Parking amenities were also enhanced with energy-efficient LED lighting on the upper east parking deck, new exterior directional signage and landscaping. Inside the center, Grand Court was completely renovated with the addition of comfortable new seating, lighting, landscaping and a full-service Customer Service Desk. The amount of seating throughout the center was doubled and new faux landscaping was installed.
In May 2016, a 23,000 square foot Food Court was added to the north end of the property and includes Charleys Philly Steaks, Chicken Connection, Cilantro Fresh Mex, Pizza Studio, Suki Hana, Yeung’s Lotus Express and coming soon Dojo Ramen Bar.
