Arboretum at Great Hills
The 210,197-square-foot (19,527.9 m2) Arboretum at Great Hills opened in 1985 and is managed by Simon Malls. It is the heavily wooded park-like atmosphere that gives the mall its arboreal name.
The open-air mall features a fountain garden, several open park spaces, a large playground, and a Renaissance Hotel, among other commercial establishments. The park spaces contain a set of five cow statues by sculptor Harold F. Clayton. It also formerly featured a movie theater - Arbor 7 Cinema - that participated in the South by Southwest film festival [1]. The theater moved locations in 2002 and was replaced with The Cheesecake Factory [2].
Arboretum Market
The 105,190-square-foot (9,772 m2) Arboretum Market opened in 1987 and features upmarket retailers such as the city's only Saks Fifth Avenue along with smaller specialty shops. The Saks space was previously a Simon David specialty grocer, which closed in December 1996 and was subsequently converted into Saks.[1][2]
