Sunnyvale Town Center

By the end of 2020, a multi-screen movie theater and a supermarket had been built and opened in addition to most of the residential buildings; as of January 2021[update], replacement plans were going forward for a group of lots including the site of Macy's, which closed in 2019.

[3][4] The City Council took the decision to build the mall in June 1976; demolition began in 1977 and included Sunnyvale Plaza, a twenty-year-old retail development.

[8] DSMU/DSR's goal was to redevelop the mall into a high-end retail, residential and office development similar to San Jose's successful Santana Row.

[17] By January 2015, apart from Target and Macy's the only active tenants on the site were Apple and Nokia, which had occupied new office space along Mathilda Avenue.

[18][19] Pau filed an appeal to the California Supreme Court,[20] which declined to review the decision on August 12, 2015, effectively ending the litigation.

That announcement triggered a 20-day review period during which the Sunnyvale City Council evaluated the proposed ownership group.

On December 10, 2015, the Council voted to acknowledge that the new ownership group met the necessary criteria, effectively allowing the sale to proceed.

[25] The development was rebranded as CityLine Sunnyvale,[26] and after the steel frames of the buildings around Redwood Square were removed, a temporary park was created.
