Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza (also known as Baldwin Hills Crenshaw and BHCP) is a shopping mall located in Los Angeles, California, United States. The mall is owned and operated by the Capri Capital Partners Group. Its anchor stores are Macy's and Sears. The original open-air complex, known as the Broadway-Crenshaw Center, was located in Los Angeles, California.
Walmart had closed this location on January 17, 2016 leaving the mall with currently only two anchor stores.
The mall's original concept was designed by Paul Williams, who also helped architect the affluent Crenshaw Manor neighborhood. It was the first post-war retail complex in California. The open air retail hub called the Broadway Crenshaw Center which opened its doors on November 1947. It was anchored by a The Broadway department store, May Company Department Store , Woolworth variety store, and Von's supermarket. It covered a gross area of 550,000 square feet (51,000 m²) and 13 acres (53,000 m2) of parking space along the then known (Santa Barbera Ave). It is best known as the oldest shopping mall in the United States that served the Los Angeles County for several decades as one of the city's main attractions. There were more retail stores added to the complex in the early 1950's and mid 1960's.
The mall complex underwent a massive renovation, which got underway in the mid 1986. Much of the old original inline store space were demolished. In 1989 a two-level, enclosed regional shopping mall structure was built, which was anchored by the existing The Broadway and May Company stores which was connect through a bridge and included a new Sears as the mall's third anchor.
