Century Plaza
Century Plaza is a 743,785 square-foot , two level, enclosed shopping mall opened in 1975 and located at Crestwood Boulevard and Oporto Road in the Eastwood area of Birmingham. The mall was designed by Giattina Fisher Aycock and is owned by General Growth Properties.
The recent announcement that two of the mall's anchors will be relocating to Trussville has caused the General Growth to discuss moving forward with plans for a major redevelopment of the property. The "Crestwood-Oporto District Redevelopment Plan", commissioned from KPS Group by the City of Birmingham, envisions a transformation of Century Plaza into a mixed use open-air retail and residential center. General Growth has indicated that they support the general ideas of the master plan, but have made no specific announcements regarding their plans.
