History
Opened in October 1975, Fox Hills Mall was the first 3-level mall in California. Gruen Associates were the project architects.
Situated on a 50-acre (200,000 m2) site, the Mall opened with three anchor tenants: JC Penney, The Broadway and May Co., and nearly 92% initial occupancy.
Notable elements of its original design were a glass-and-steel "theme" staircase in the center of the mall, as well as the angled bridges which connected the multiple levels.
The theme staircase was removed during the 2009 renovation, but the bridges still remain.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Universal history is the history of a few metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
