History
Construction was started on the mall, by the Leonard L. Farber Company, by early 1979, with an opening date set for March 1980.
In January 1990, Miller & Rhoads closed its location at the mall, with merchandise being shipped to other stores recently purchased by
The mall was renovated again, beginning in 1999 and finishing in 2002. The $8.5 million renovation improved lighting and seating within the mall, as well as new decor intended to give the mall a more modern feel, including the removal of umbrella motifs dating to the mall's opening.[9]
On December 28, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 80 stores nationwide. The store closed in March 2019.[10] In February 2020, it was reported that the mall was facing "imminent default" on $45.2 million of loans. This came following an increasing number of store closures in the mall, as well as the mall being downgraded to a "non-core" property by owners Washington Prime.[11]
On August 20, 2020, it was announced that J. C. Penney would also be closing in November 2020 as part of a plan to close 155 stores nationwide which left the two Belk stores as the only anchors.[12]
On June 13, 2021, Washington Prime Group, the owners of Charlottesville Fashion Square, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing the COVID-19 pandemic as the main reason.[13] The mall was later auctioned to a local lending company a few days later.[14]
