History
The mall was once home, in a free-standing pad site outside the main property, to AMC Northwest 4 theatres. AMC Northwest 4 was one of the first multi-screen theatres built in Houston, Texas.
Upon opening, J. C. Penney owned their location and near-by parking, Foley's (now Macy's) owned their own location and near-by parking, and the remainder of the property was owned by the mall itself. This caused the land to be owned by three owners. In 2000, JC Penney closed their Northwest Mall location which has sat vacant until Thompson's Antique Center moved into the space in 2012. SRO sports bar, which had relocated to Northwest Mall in the summer of 2001, announced its closing Feb. 2013.
In 2006, the mall was about 64% occupied. During that year Glimcher Realty Trust put the mall up for sale, along with the Almeda Mall. In 2007, Levcor Inc purchased the main mall, giving them approximately 80% ownership of the property with only Macy's having its own independent owner.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“As I am, so shall I associate, and so shall I act; Caesar’s history will paint out Caesar.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
