Carmel Plaza
Shopping center in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, US
Carmel Plaza[1] is a 111,980 sq ft (10,403 m2) self-described "upscale, outdoor lifestyle shopping center" in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, in the block bounded by Ocean, Junipero, Mission and 7th streets.[2] It is currently anchored by Anthropologie and is home to luxury goods retailers such as Tiffany. Three stories of shops surround an open-air courtyard.
Despite its small size, the center has been host to small branches of three department stores. At opening on August 18, 1960,[3][4] I. Magnin opened a 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) store here.[5] Both the store and the center were designed by architect Olof Dahlstrand.[6] Joseph Magnin opened in 1974.[7] After the Joseph Magnin chain closed in 1984, Saks Fifth Avenue opened on May 31, 1986.[8]
The shopping mall was built in 1960 by Gerson Bakar and Steve Jacobs. It was sold to Macerich in 1998, and again to the O'Connor Group in 2012.[9]
