History

The site was originally occupied by a shopping mall called Plaza Pasadena, which opened in 1980 and featured three

Progressive Architecture Magazine Design Award
in 1979.

May Company closed its store there in 1989, and the space was divided among smaller stores.[4]

In 1998, following the conversion of the Broadway store to Macy's and the closure of J.C. Penney,[5] the developers announced plans to tear down the mall and replace it with an outdoor center.[6]

Paseo Colorado opened in September 2001, retaining the Macy's store from the original development and added a supermarket and movie theater complex.

Developers Diversified Realty Corp. for $114 million.[8]

In November 2010, the Paseo Colorado saw the opening of Noor, a 16,000 sq ft event space featuring state-of-the-art audio/visual and lighting and seating for up to 350 guests for banquets in its large ballroom, the Sofia, and 140 guests for banquets in its smaller ballroom, the Ella.[9]

On January 3, 2013, Macy's announced their store at Paseo Colorado would close in early spring 2013.[10] At the time of the store closure, there were plans to demolish the Macy's building and replace it with a multi-story hotel.[11]

In March 2013, Gelson's announced that they would close their store at Paseo Colorado on July 21, 2013.[12][13] This store had been at this location since Paseo Colorado first opened 12 years prior.

By late 2014, the mall was in the process of obtaining the necessary local governmental licenses to replace the vacant Macy's Department Store with a Hyatt Place hotel and mixed-use condominium complex.[14][15] After obtaining the necessary permits, DDR began the demolition process in August 2015.[16]

In January 2016, DDR sold the retail development to Cypress Equities of Dallas.[17][18]

It was renamed The Paseo[19] in 2017.[20]

In April 2023, it was announced that

Arclight Cinemas at the mall and that it would reopen as part of the company's chain.[21]

On June 1, 2023, Regal Cinemas opened its doors at the former Arclight Cinemas.[22]
