History[edit]

Broadway Plaza opened on October 18, 1951 with 38 stores.^[5]JCPenney, Sears, Woolworths, Joseph Magnin (later I. Magnin), and a Lucky Supermarket were the mall's original anchors.^[6] In 1954, Oakland-based department store Capwell's opened as the center's fifth anchor.^[7]

Lucky was replaced by Northern California's second Bullock's department store in 1973,^[8] which was in turn converted to Nordstrom in 1984.^[9]

Capwell's became Emporium-Capwell in 1979,^[10] and was converted to Macy's in 1995;^[11] while I.Magnin was converted to a separate Macy's Men's store that same year.^[12]

Neiman Marcus joined Broadway Plaza in March 2012,^[13] as the beginning of several major changes to the shopping center. Plans for an extensive renovation of the mall, including the addition of 300,000 sq ft (28,000 m²) of new retail space, were approved in December 2013.^[14] The expansion merged the two Macy's stores into an expanded single building, replaced existing parking garages with modern structures, and added a new two-level retail building between the existing Macy's and Nordstrom stores. The first tenants in the expansion opened in September 2016,^[15] while additional tenants and a two-level Zara store in place of the former Macy's Men's store opened for business during the Christmas shopping season.^[15] An additional phase, replacing two multi-tenant buildings with a landmark Apple store, commenced construction in early 2017, and opened in late 2018.^[16]
