on Brevard Road (North Carolina Highway 191
) in Asheville, North Carolina
. It has two anchors: Belk

Clearance Center. In Summer 2008, Dillard's converted to a clearance center.

In November 2006, Symphony Property Group and two local investment groups (collectively calling themselves Biltmore Eight, LLC) purchased the shopping center with the assistance of a third party loan. Thereafter the managing firm disclosed that the owner decided to expand the property in the first quarter of 2007 by an additional 83000 sq ft (7,711 m²).
Cinebarre, a new concept in movie theaters and restaurants, was unveiled in the Biltmore Square Mall. Food, beer, and wine are served before and during the screening of films in the theater.
