Cherry Creek Center was originally completed in 1953,[1] and was renovated in 1990, currently anchored by three department stores; Neiman Marcus, Macy's, and Nordstrom.

Lord & Taylor opened a location at the mall in 1990, a newer expanded store closed in 2004 after the chain repositioned.

Other than the shops in Aspen, Cherry Creek Center is the exclusive location of several luxury retailers in Colorado, such as Louis Vuitton, Burberry, and Brooks Brothers.

After the pit was filled with trash, the first Cherry Creek shopping center was built over the dump.

[3] It was designed in 1949 by Temple Hoyne Buell and is still in use, located immediately west of the larger mall facility extension renovated in 1990.
