The District is a large outdoor shopping center and entertainment hub in
Tillys, due to its proximity to South Coast Plaza, Fashion Island, and Irvine Spectrum Center.[2][3]
History
The shopping center held its grand opening on August 17, 2007. It was built on some of the land that was part of the former Tustin Military Base which closed in 1999. As of 2017, one of the bases famous blimp hangars still stands right behind Lowe's. The center opened with stores that were similar or had locations at the nearby Market Place, which opened 19 years earlier.
DSW, also an original tenant, closed and was replaced by Planet Fitness in 2017. Union Market, a postmodern food hall, opened in the former Borders in 2016 after many delays. The food hall features more local food stands unlike traditional food courts, along with recycled vintage stores and clothing boutiques. Bar Louie announced that it would be opening its first Orange County location in a space formerly occupied by Panera and Justice in 2017.[5][3]
