The Citadel Outlets are an outlet mall in the City of Commerce, California, along the Santa Ana Freeway southeast of Downtown Los Angeles, which features the Exotic Revival architecture of a tire factory, whose partial remnants the complex occupies, built in the style of the castle of Assyrian king Sargon II.
In 1990, Trammell Crow Co. was hired for the site's $118 million redevelopment into an outlet center and adjacent 201-room Wyndham Garden Hotel (now a Doubletree).
[2] It is also the site of Black Friday on Thanksgiving, which led to longer lines since there are discounted prices on merchandise.
[3] In 2019, there was a proposed expansion of shopping center that would include both hotel towers and monorail while linking the sprawling property.
[5] As part of the LA Metro E Line Eastside Transit Corridor, a station at the Citadel Outlets is planned.
