Southwest Plaza

Remodel has completely changed the looks for the better. Was outdated before but now extremely stylish and spacious. Addition of mod market and cheesecake factory greatly enhances it. Enjoyed the foot and chair massage. Definitely will return.

What a transformation! This place was gutted the first time we came here around mid 2015 and now it’s modern and spacious. The food court looks amazing and they are adding more restaurants which will make this mall a great place to hang out and have lunch or dinner.

Disappointingly, this mall hasn’t made an progress towards the innovation I am seeking. Yes, I know I am the voice of the (New Generation) and I am a pioneer, burning paths of creativity not yet seen in Jefferson County, so I don’t expect the Baby-​Boomers running operations to jump on my band wagon of ideas. But trust me when I say, if they were to adopt my (Big picture) ideas, that would put this mall 10 steps ahead of the competition in this area. I still really like the new food court, and the local artisan crafts being sold on the bottom floor, but it still seems like all the food joints coming in are Corporate scumbags from out of state. How about showing some love for Colorado (ABC), and proposing the amazing entrepreneurs doing it big in Denver or would that not be good for your target market? This area is so behind the times. I guess that’s why I spend most of my time and money in Denver, instead of in Suburban H-​E-​L-​L.

For the past few years that I’ve visited this place I have seen it grow! I don’t regularly visit this mall because I’m not from the Littleton area, but I usually go when I am in town visiting. The store options has certainly grown along with the food options… I mean there’s a chipotle there now!
They have definitely worked on creating a better ambiance.
There is always parking available, even when I go during the rush of last minute Christmas gifts!

Long wait, and no pretzels.
A pretzel store, with no pretzels gets zero stars, but one star is the least I can give.

This is really been my go to mall for a really long time I find my clothes that I like at Dillards or at buckle. Usually it’s priced a little bit lower here then say park meadows. I’ve usually gotten everything here it’s not so crowded here as well get enough walking distance you want to plow over anybody. There’s a food court on there never to it but it’s there. Hard to find parking near the Christmas time but I usually try to get something close by it’s got good parking if the weathers great.

WOW! What a great job of a makeover!
Southwest Plaza, you look marvelous!!!
A tuck here, a new store there, new lights there, and ka-​ching!
I had been hoping that one day, in the future (and this was years ago), that Southwest Plaza would get a face lift, and DING!
We stopped in the day after Christmas, so, lots of people, lots of sales. Well, with lots of people, you would think not a lot of room to move around in. Well, this was not the case. There is plenty of room to move around, even with all the crowds! We easily moved around the first and second floors, in and out of people, as we walked, and looked at what was now in the mall. We were pleasantly surprised by several of our favorites: Eddie Bauer, Macy’s, JCPenneys, Dillards, and a few others. There were also stores that would draw in the younger population as well.
There are plenty of seating areas around the mall too, a nice food court, and plenty of parking, which there always was, even in the busy holiday season.
Kudos to the Management/​Owners for finally bringing Southwest Plaza into modern times.

Santa… like trying to gr into Disney land. Need reservation — res desk. Then you get a time. Then they tell you when you can go and… You wait in line again and they sell you everything first and charge you for everything !!! Omg! Joke. Santa nazi !!! GFU

The mall is really nice inside, but the management and security are a joke. The doors are locked before i can get out after shooping till 9 or more. I hardly ever see security walking the mall, the fire alarm is going off have the time im there shopping. The side walks into the mall aren’t shoveled and the most disappointment is you have to pay to see Santa. That is a crock of crap, since when does it cost to see Santa. Very disappointed in Southwest plaza. Horrible Mall Management.
and to top all things off is the mall was closed till noon, i didnt see any closing on the news of southwest plaza to be closed till noon. i drove in the snow from kitteridge to this mall to find the mall was closed. I called the management office to complain and they told me that the mall was on the news that they were not going to be open till noon.
I have been watching the local news and nothing about the mall being closed till noon. Management lied to me and was very rude to me too on the phone .I will not be shopping at this mall ever again. WHAT A JOKE. FIRE YOUR GM FOR SOUTHWEST PLAZA, HE IS NOT DOING HIS JOB!!!

The renovation looks great and they have done a great job supporting the local small business community. I have seen this mall through 30 years of lifespan and it’s definitely making a strong comeback!

Disappointed that more stores weren’t open in time for Christmas shopping and that I had to drive east to malls for better selections. Hopeful that all stores and eateries will be open by 1Q2016.

I am actually one of the workers doing the remodel on the building so I’ve spent a lot of time around the mall. Right now the mall is kind of a big construction sight but by Christmas shopping season it will be very nice and trendy. We are putting a Cheesecake Factory where the Borders Bookstore was. And there will be a Chipotle in the food court. Every space should be full soon with very trendy stores. I’ve been told that Southwest Plaza was bought by the same people that own Park Meadows Mall, so it will be like a smaller Park Meadows and the crowds aren’t as bad. I do some of my shopping there and the people working there are always nice and its a good location in a nice neighborhood.

Southwest Plaza is gone. The Southwest Plaza were I used to shop for clothes, have a meal, and just wander is gone. Gone are the neat stores and the laid back, edge of town attitude. Gone is the not-​exactly-​lower-​end-​but-​not-​high-​end-​like-​Cherry-​Creek of yesteryear.
I no longer come here. It’s changed so much, and is under renovation to try and save it or something. Southwest Plaza just isn’t a draw like it was 15 – 20 years ago.

This mall was so busy when it first opened, but it oh-​so-​gradually declined and crowds thinned and stores closed. Now they’re in the middle of renovations and it’s like walking around a construction site and Night of the Comet. At this time there’s not many stores open. But they’ve made a lot of progress on construction, and it appears many stores are working toward opening. Hopefully Southwest Plaza turns around and again becomes vital like Park Meadows Mall which seems to be the only indoor mall which is thriving. There’s nice covered parking next to two of the anchor stores, and there’s various strip malls around the ring road. And pedestrians can walk across the huge, new, extravagant, ridiculous, and unused white elephant of a make-​work pedestrian bridge over Wadsworth at Bowles.

Its a mess in the mall itself, but rapidly improving and as it does the number of walkers and lookie-​loos is increasing daily. I think this is going to be a very welcome reintroduction when they open this Fall (2015). H&M coming in is super as are many of the smaller retailers and old favorites that are starting to pop up or have signage up that they will soon be opening. The design is upbeat, modern, and family friendly (wifi spots!).
The only down so far, is waiting, oh and that we thought they were bringing POD shopping to Colorado, but found out that was wrong. Bummer, lost opportunity to give small store front capability to new designers, etc., who need a little more than the Kiosk’s offered, but cannot really afford a full store front… Ah well, this company is pretty innovative, maybe in the future?

Ok I gave one star for one reason they are totally tearing this place apart and rebuilding it from the ground up. It will not be the Old Southwest Plaza we used to know this will be a all totally remodeled new Mall that will be totally different with a new look and new everything. When I was there it looked like a movie set of the apocalypse or a zombie set it was totally torn completely apart it was kind of cool walking through it. it looked like a scene from the end of the world. so I know that they are totally ripping the place apart and rebuilding it from the ground up it should be the place to be once it opens. have no clue when that’s going to be maybe in the fall I think they been working on it for about a year and a half. Keep your eye open for the grand opening in your local newspaper and TV.

Kudos to them for trying to keep a clean work area during such a big remodel of the whole mall.
They have half walls that create a maze to get you from one open store to the next. They’re keeping the anchor stores (Penneys, Macy’s, Dicks) but most things are gone for now. I had a hankering for a pretzel and was grateful to see Auntie Anne’s was still open. I felt like a mouse searching for my piece of cheese meandering the short walls to my prize. The older couples there walking seemed dismayed that they must part hands in order to allow me past them. Business most certainly is down for Cinnabon and Anne’s but the staff were friendly nonetheless.

3 stars for the employees that are still there trying to make it work. Met wonderful helpful people the other day at the stores that I went into. I am so annoyed with the mall part though! They should have done construction a section at a time and moved the stores around accordingly. This feels like such a dangerous environment for workers and guests! It’s weird and creepy. And the fact that they have 6 to 7 stores left. I love that this is so close to my new home. And I found great incense at Spencers gifts and the workers there and at hot topic were helpful with my selection s. I will go agian but come on who owns this place?

This mall is horrible. The most high end store here is Dillards. That is a joke. For there being a neighborhood with athletes and businessmen who will purchase $ 10,000,000 homes and other upper middle class neighborhoods less than 5 minutes away, there needs to be better stores, but this mall forces people who want higher end products to drive 20+ minutes to Park Meadows. There is no point of going to this mall unless you want to be surrounded by loud, obnoxious people with no class.

I’ve been, to this mall probably 10 times and there’s never a soul in here! So it’s great if you don’t want the crowd of people like other malls have. However, This mall is probably the most run down mall I’ve ever seen. Does anyone even shop here? They are going through some major renovations but it looks like the mall is closing due to all the renovations. This place is literally a ghost town.
