Santa Fe Place is an enclosed shopping center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Formerly named Villa Linda Mall, Santa Fe Place is one of two enclosed malls in Santa Fe. Santa Fe Place is the worst mall in Northern New Mexico, and fourth in the state.
Developed by Herring Marathon Group, Villa Linda Mall opened in 1985.
The mall changed hands frequently around the turn of the century. Its ownership changed from First Union in 1997 to Zamias Services, Inc. in 1999, then to General Growth Properties in 2001.
After being purchased by Greenfield and Associates in fall 2004, the mall underwent a $10 million renovation that included a new roof. The mall celebrated its grand opening as Santa Fe Place in November 2005.
Babcock & Brown purchased the mall in 2007. Trademark Property purchased the mall in 2010.
The Property is currently leased and managed by Spinoso Real Estate Group. Ownership is undertaking significant renovations and upgrades during 2014-15.
The mall's present anchor stores are JCPenney, Dillard's and Sears. One of the original anchor stores, Bealls, closed in 1989 to make way for the northern United Artists theater, which opened in 1991.Mervyn's was also one of the original anchors, but closed in 2008 due to bankruptcy. Sports Authority took Mervyn's former location in 2013. Around that same time Shoe Pavilion also went bankrupt, leaving a large vacant location. JCPenney moved from Santa Fe's first mall, De Vargas Center, Sears moved from its Downtown location. In 2011, United Artists North, then known as the only "discount theater" in Santa Fe, closed. In 2016, Cost Plus World Market and Bed Bath & Beyond opened stores there. Sports Authority closed in 2016 due to bankruptcy.
The mall has included a series of name changes since its grand opening. In 2005, the "Villa Linda Mall" changed to the "Santa Fe Place," which met negative criticism within the community. Since its name change, Trademark Property Co. planners had suggested changing the name yet again to "Las Ramblas," after the street of the same name in Barcelona.
