The Shoppes at Northpark
The Shoppes at Northpark is a shopping mall located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with a concentration of high-end retail establishments. It contains 45 tenants comprising approximately 250,000 square feet of gross space for lease. Thomas Morris purchased a tract for the mall in 1967 at $2,500-an-acre, and completed the first phase in 1973, which consisted of a Safeway grocery store (the largest in the state at the time, no longer in business) and Northpark 4 Cinemas (which is now AMC Northpark 7). In 1973 the new mall was located on (what was  at that time) the northern edge of Oklahoma City. It was followed by an expansion in 1977 which added of retail space, and another expansion in 1981. Occupancy fell to approximately 50 percent as a result of the 1980s oil bust, but subsequently improved in the mid-1990s. The mall now consists of a number of smaller high-end retailers.
