History

The mall was built in downtown Santa Rosa in 1983, resulting in the demolition of various downtown buildings, including a courthouse.[3] Macy's, the first store in the development, opened in 1981.[4] Development was delayed for many years due to legal disputes between developers Ernest Hahn and Hugh Codding, the latter of whom owned nearby Coddingtown Mall.[1] Codding lost the settlement.[5]

In an interview with Gaye LeBaron, Hugh Codding said the construction bonds for the Santa Rosa Plaza were paid in full with property tax revenues from the plaza businesses.[6][7]

Mervyn's closed in 2008 when the chain filed for bankruptcy.[8] Two years later, the store became Forever 21.[9]

In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Santa Rosa Plaza, into Seritage Growth Properties.[10]

On October 15, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 142 stores nationwide. The store closed on January 6, 2019.[11]
