Northgate Mall is a shopping mall located just off I-85 and Gregson Street in Durham, North Carolina. The mall is situated close to Duke University and some of Durham’s most attractive and upscale neighborhoods, including Trinity Park, Duke Park, and Watts-Hillandale.
Northgate is anchored by Macy’s and Sears. It also had an Old Navy as a sub-anchor, until its closure in July 2006. Other notable national tenants include Talbots, Yamato Japanese Seafood/Steakhouse, Bath and Body Works, Tiger Direct and Victoria’s Secret. Northgate Mall has over 100 stores.
Entrance 2 to Northgate Mall.
A Hudson-Belk store closed in 2005 and has been converted to an East Coast Entertainment 10-screen movie theater [1] Additionally, a number of exterior shops, including a Marble Slab Creamery, are being added to the mall’s exterior adjacent to the theater, in an effort to create an upscale outdoor shopping experience similar to other malls in the area. Construction work continues for the development of new stores and shopping in the new “plaza” section of the mall, with construction crews working on building out the rest of the new space in the mall. According to a member of the mall’s security staff, between 10 and 15 tenants are signed to round out the plaza, which is reportedly scheduled to complete construction by early 2007.
An adjacent strip-style plaza on the property’s west side includes a new Guitar Center, C&H Cafeteria, a regional cafeteria chain, and an Office Depot which opened on December 31, 2006. Also in the main center area an indoor Carousel plus a new permanent Children’s Train ride in center court All of this work is part of a reported $16 million renovation to keep Northgate, Durham’s oldest enclosed shopping mall, an all-round attractive destination for shoppers.
