Macroplaza Mall

Macroplaza Mall, formerly Pasadena Town Square Mall and Plaza Paseo Mall, is a regional shopping mall located in Pasadena, Texas, southeast of Houston. When the mall opened in 1982, it originally featured Joske's, Foley's, and Palais Royal as its anchor stores.[1] Even at the time the mall was unusual in the Houston area due to the fact that it was one of only a few malls in the Houston area which were not located near a highway.[2] Joske's became Dillard's in 1987. Sears was added as the fourth anchor in 1997.[3]

In 2002, the mall was purchased from American General by a local developer.[4] Foley's converted to Macy's in 2006,[5] the same year that Dillard's closed.[6] The Macy's store closed on March 27, 2017.

In 2015 the mall was purchased by Guardian Equity, which planned to remodel the common spaces.[7] By 2016 the mall had been renamed "Plaza Paseo Mall".[8][9]

In mid-2018, the mall's name was again changed to Macroplaza Mall to allude to it being a gathering place like the plaza of the same name to the south in Monterrey, Mexico, along with emphasizing a new focus on the area's Mexican American community.

Palais Royal closed in 2020 leaving Sears as the only anchor left.[10]
