Uptown Virginia is an indoor shopping center in Virginia, Minnesota.

History

The mall was constructed in 1971 by Gamble Development Co.[1] as Thunderbird Mall. Among its tenants were JCPenney, Kmart, and a Jerry Lewis Cinema theater.[2] Herberger's moved its Virginia location from downtown into the mall in 1977,[3] and closed in 2018.[4] The K-Mart closed in 2016.[5]

RockstepCapital (headquartered in Houston, Texas) acquired the mall from Rubloff Development Group of Rockford, Illinois in 2014[6][7][8]

It was renamed "Uptown Virginia" in July 2020.[9][10]

Location

The mall is located on the north side of the U.S. Highway 53. The mall contains around 30 retail tenants.[11][12]
