Turfland Mall is a deal mall that is being redeveloped into a Town Centre


Turfland Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Lexington, Kentucky. The mall was the first mall in Lexington opening in 1967. The mall is now classed as a dead mall and developments by the owners, Rubloff Development Group to make the site into commercial space are underway. The mall could not complete with the Fayette Mall as the are can only absorb one regional mall.

The first department stores in the mall were Montgomery Ward, Grant City and McAlpin's. JC Penney replace Grant city in 1976. Renovations began on the mall in 1997 when the mall was purchased by Rubloff Development Group. McAlpin's was acquired by Dillard's and Montgomery Ward was closed in 2000 with the space being converted to The Home Depot. Dillard's Closed in 2008, GNC was the last retail store in the mall and the mall closed on October 1, 2008.

The redevelopment of Turfland Mall is to transform the site into a commercial office space with some retail and residential space. The area will be renamed the Turfland Town Centre and the area that was the enclosed part of Turfland Mall is to be raised.

This is the first major change in the mall since the renovations in 1997. This redevelopment will be a new design on the old mall with a major anchor tenant to fill the old Dillard's site. When a tenant signs on for this site the area will be remodeled to extensively fit the design of the new town centre.

Stores that have property on the mall's exterior will be unaffected by the redevelopment plans. These stores are Staples office supply Store, Dink's Caf, video gaming center and Home Depot as they own the land. Stores that still have leases with the mall will be accommodated in the new Town Centre.
