The Dimond Center is a 728,000 ft² (67,000 m²) shopping mall in Anchorage, Alaska, United States, located on the southwest corner of East Dimond Boulevard and the Old Seward Highway in south Anchorage. It is the largest enclosed mall in the state of Alaska, though the open-air Tikahtnu Commons on the opposite side of town has a greater GLA.
The mall is anchored by Best Buy and contains over 200 stores, restaurants and services, including a six-story office tower at the mall’s southeast corner. Other facilities include a post office, an arcade and a 9-screen Regal Cinemas theater equipped with luxury king size recliners. The lower level in the office tower also contains a small food court, a bowling alley, and a health club, all arrayed around an ice skating rink.
The office tower is home to the Anchorage branch of iHeartMedia (formerly Clear Channel Radio), including the studios of radio stations KASH, KBFX, KENI, KGOT, KTZN and KYMG.
The section line road leading south from Anchorage to the rural settlements of Rabbit Creek and Potter became the Seward Highway in the early 1950s and the Old Seward Highway about 20 years later with the construction of a 4-lane freeway slightly to the east. The Old Seward Highway formed the backbone of what became south Anchorage, both in terms of access to residential subdivisions and homesteads, as well as businesses which catered to both nearby residents and highway travelers.
