Century III Mall

Common card · No. 313705

Century III Mall was a large enclosed shopping mall located along Route 51 in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, about 10 miles southeast of downtown Pittsburgh. It operated from October 1979 until its closure in February 2019. Demolition began on March 26, 2024, and was completed on April 30, 2026. Planned in 1976, the mall was built on a former slag dump. Anchor stores included Kaufmann's, Gimbels, JCPenney, Sears, and Montgomery Ward. It was the third-largest shopping mall in the world when it opened, but was surpassed by much larger malls. The mall was a joint-venture between the Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation and United States Steel Corporation. A 1996 merger between the mall's developer, now known as the DeBartolo Realty Corporation, and Simon Property Group, brought Century III Mall under the Simon DeBartolo Group heading, who owned the mall until 2011. The mall was later acquired by Las Vegas-based Moonbeam Capital Investments LLC.
