in the 1980s) and the SouthPark Cinemas
I & II.
The mall did not face any real competition until the two-story Eastland Mall
was built about 6 miles (10 km) northeast. Eastland had the same anchor lineup as SouthPark, but also included a JC Penney store and an ice skating rink giving that mall a competitive advantage.
In 2011, a study released by TomTom
showed that the area around SouthPark Mall is the most congested shopping area in the United States during
Black Friday weekend.

to the mall, in addition to a new food court. The food court and Thalhimers department store joined the mall in a new wing; however the addition of Lord & Taylor never materialized, although it was rumored for years that they'd take the Sears space. The new wing opened in 1988. In 1990, Dillard's
bought out, and subsequently renamed, Ivey's department stores, and in 1992 Thalhimer's was converted to Hecht's
as a result of May Company's buyout. After this, Belk, Dillard's, Hecht's and Sears were the mall's anchor stores throughout the next decade.
In the 1990s, SouthPark standbys such as Woolworth's, The Intimate Bookstore and Morrison's Cafeteria left, and many changes resulted from the new competition of Carolina Place Mall

and Nordstrom
would join the mall in SouthPark's biggest expansion yet. The Belk and Ivey families sold their interest in the mall to Rodamco (managed by Trammell Crow), who in turn sold the mall to Simon Property Group
. In 2001 and 2002, Belk renovated and expanded its flagship store and Hecht's renovated and expanded their store in 2003 and 2004. The site of the former convenience center and movie theater has been redeveloped into Symphony Park, an outdoor amphitheater and pond home of a summer concert series called "Pops in the Park." In 2003 Sears, citing under performance, closed their store in the summer of that year, which was eventually demolished to make way for a new outdoor plaza that included a Joseph-Beth Bookstore and a new Galayan's Store (which opened as a Dick's Sporting Goods as a result of a buyout). Saks Fifth Avenue pulled out of the expansion, and as of 2011 the company still does not have a Charlotte
location, but Nordstrom
opened its doors in 2004. This luxury expansion brought exclusive and upscale stores to the area such as Burberry
, Louis Vuitton
, and Apple
. In late 2005, Simon Property Group
announced that Neiman Marcus
would be the tenant of the former Saks Fifth Avenue anchor pad, along with another wing of stores & boutiques. Neiman Marcus opened in late 2006. Also, three new parking decks have been added. Dillard's was the last anchor to renovate its original 1970s Ivey's facade and interior, and Crate and Barrel
joined the mall as an outparcel in 2007 in the new Village at SouthPark, which includes street-level retail and restaurants and luxury apartments. Joseph-Beth closed its bookstore in 2010 and The Container Store
will be replacing it in August of 2011.
On 6 December 2007 at approximately 12:15 PM EST
a portion of the Nordstrom/Neiman Marcus parking deck collapsed. The collapse of the deck was caused by a car colliding with a retaining wall on the third and highest level. Eyewitness accounts stated an elderly woman may have suffered a heart attack, which triggered the accident; the woman died. Two cars were destroyed by the collapsed section of concrete; no one was in either of the cars. At the time, this was the second American parking structure to collapse in two weeks, leading people to question the structural integrity of such buildings.

History
SouthPark Mall opened on February 12, 1970 with anchor stores Belk, Ivey's and Sears. The area where SouthPark is today was considered to be the on outskirts of Charlotte at the time it opened; people were skeptical about a big shopping mall in the middle of pastureland. The mall was developed by the Belk and Ivey families, owners of the eponymous department stores, who jointly owned and operated the mall, and included a Sears store as a complement due to its focus on homewares. The mall had approximately 1000000 square feet (92,903 m²) when it opened, and the design of the shopping mall was starkly modernist, with an underground parking deck, a signature white brick facade and tinted windows. The inspiration for the mall's original architecture reportedly was Dallas'Dallas, Texas
