Crossroads Mall was a shopping mall located at the intersection of U.S. Route 19 and Roosevelt Boulevard on the border of Clearwater and Largo, Florida.
History
[edit]The mall was opened in September 1984 as Bay Area Outlet Mall.[1] Two years after the complex opened, its owners were asked by Pinellas County officials to pay for road improvements necessitated by mall traffic.[2] Original tenants included TJ Maxx and Bealls. Although the mall was foreclosed on in 1997, a Ross Dress for Less store was added the same year.[3]
By early 2005, the complex was almost entirely vacant and slated for redevelopment.[4] In 2005, Walmart announced that it would buy the mall and replace it with a supercenter,[5] but the plan ultimately fell through.[6]
The property was purchased by developer Boulder Venture South LLC for $26 million in May 2005.[7] At the time, only seven stores remained in operation.[6] It officially closed its doors in August 2005, and was razed in 2007.[8]
