The Shoppes at Solana

The Shoppes at Solana (formerly Sunland Park Mall) is a shopping mall in El Paso, Texas, owned and operated by Enoch Kimmelman. It is located on El Paso's west side, at Interstate 10 and Sunland Park Drive. It was developed by Simon Property Group and features six anchor stores operating under four brand names, and more than 130 specialty stores on two enclosed levels. It is the second-largest mall of the three in the metro area, behind Cielo Vista Mall and Bassett Place.
With a gross leasable area of 918,000 square feet (85,300 m2), the mall is classified as a super-regional mall by the International Council of Shopping Centers.
Construction of the mall was completed in 1988, and it opened to the public on August 31 of that year. It is approximately one mile from Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino, a racino just across the state line in Sunland Park, New Mexico. It is about four miles (6 km) from the border with Mexico.

Forever 21 closed in 2018.
On November 8, 2018, it was announced that Sears will be closing this location in early 2019 a part of a plan to close 40 stores.
