Coronado Center is a 2-level super-regional enclosed shopping mall owned by GGP Inc. located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Coronado is one of 4 malls located in the Albuquerque area.BackgroundCoronado Center opened in March 1965 as an open-air mall, and was developed by Homart Development Company, the mall-building subsidiary of Sears. It was remodeled in 1975-1976 (when it became an enclosed mall), 1984, 1992, and 1995. The mall is the largest in the state of New Mexico with 150 stores and is anchored by Macy's, JCPenney, Sears, Kohl's, and H&M.Anchor historyWhen Coronado Center first opened in 1965, the mall's original anchor tenants included Sears ( Reducing store size in half 2016 ) and Rhodes Brothers. In 1974, Rhodes Brothers was re-branded as Liberty House. In the mall's 1975-1976 expansion, two new anchor stores (Goldwater's and The Broadway) were added, and in 1984 a fifth anchor store (Sanger-Harris) was added. Goldwater's closed in 1986, but later reopened as May D&F in 1989. Sanger-Harris was re-branded as Foley's in 1987, but in 1988, Foley's closed this location. In the late 1980s, Liberty House closed and was replaced by Mervyn's shortly afterward.
