context_page_description: Circle Centre Mall is an indoor shopping mall located in Downtown Indianapolis. Circle Centre Mall was opened to the public on September 8, 1995, and incorporates existing downtown structures such as the former L. S. Ayres flagship store. The mall's anchor stores are Regal Cinemas and The Indianapolis Star. There is 1 vacant anchor store that was once Carson Pirie Scott.
  The mall consists of 99 stores on four levels with a gross leasable area of 729,981 square feet. When first conceived in the 1980s, it was intended to contain the existing Ayres and William H. Block department stores along with one or two others new to the city. Before the mall could open, both the Ayres and Block stores had closed, leaving Nordstrom and Parisian as anchors.
  The third level features a food court. The fourth level features entertainment venues, but also now contains non-retail tenants.
  Construction of the mall cost $307.5 million. Efforts were made in its design to incorporate historic elements, such as the retention of the facades of buildings that had previously existed on the site.
  With the closure of Nordstrom in 2011 and that of Carson's on April 29, 2018, the mall has no department stores.
context_section_description: When Circle Centre opened in September 1995, it had two anchor stores—Nordstrom, with 206,000 square feet (19,100 m²), and Parisian, with 144,000 square feet (13,400 m²)—and 88 other stores with a total of 418,000 square feet (38,800 m²). Of those 88, 22 were restaurants and food service, 30 were clothing and shoe stores, and 7 were recreational (including movie theaters).
  As of February 2018, there were 90 stores besides the Carson's anchor. Of those, 26 were restaurants, 58 were retail stores, and 6 were entertainment venues. In addition, substantial amounts of space are now used by non-retail establishments: The Indianapolis Star uses 100,000 square feet (9,300 m²) of the former Nordstrom space, and Brown Mackie College, which moved in in 2011, takes up about 25,000 square feet (2,300 m²) on the fourth level; however, in 2016 the school announced that it would not accept any new students as it shuts down its operations. The Simon Youth Academy, an Indianapolis Public Schools Choice School for 11th and 12th graders that opened in 2015, also occupies about 5,000 square feet (460 m²) on the fourth floor.
