About Southdale Center

Southdale Center in Edina, Minnesota, opened in 1956 and is the first fully enclosed, climate-controlled shopping mall in the United States. Architect Victor Gruen designed it, and Simon Property Group owns it today. Major tenants include Macy's, Dave & Buster's, AMC Theatres, Life Time Athletic and Kowalski's, and a luxury wing opened in 2025.
