Steeplegate Mall

[7] During the mall's decade of decline prior to 2024, it also featured several other non-traditional tenants including a live performance theater that operated from 2016 to 2024,[8] a short-lived charter school from 2018 to 2020,[5] and a pickleball club from 2022 to 2024.

[9] The mall opened with four large retail anchor stores, a food court with a 630-square-foot (59 m2) mosaic,[10] and room for about 62 storefronts, depending on layout.

[6][9] In 2023, new owners proposed to tear most of it and an adjacent movie theater down and build a large mixed-use development with apartments and some retail.

[16] By April 2015 the property was owned by a consortium of lenders including Wells Fargo Bank and Midland Loan Servicing and managed by Colliers International.

[8][26] In 2019, a health club called The Zoo opened a franchise in the former Bon-Ton women's and children's store, marking the first time since Circuit City's closure that all five anchors in the mall had an active permanent tenant.

[20] However, the owners renounced their demands shortly afterward and allowed the theater to stay, although Hatbox was no longer permitted to use the adjoining former RadioShack space.

[32] On April 22, the mall closed its interior to visitors, leaving only the six remaining businesses with exterior entrances—JCPenney, Talbots, Chico's, Hatbox Theatre, The Zoo Health Club, and Altitude Trampoline Park.

[2][3] The owners also filed a permit on June 18 for a partial demolition of the mall,[2] which the Concord Planning Board approved on July 17.
