History
Columbus City Center was developed by the city as part of the Capitol South development, opening on August 18, 1989. Lazarus, already open since 1851, was made one of the original anchor stores by connecting it with the mall via an enclosed bridge across High Street. The Lazarus store by City Center was the first Lazarus store ever opened. The other original anchor stores were Marshall Field's and Jacobson's. Taubman Company leased and managed the building until control was later taken over by Mills Corporation, discussed later on. Early leasing efforts were substantially enhanced when Limited Brands, a locally-based dominant specialty retailer, announced that all of its brands would have a presence at the center.
In 2003, the Marshall Field's store became a Kaufmann's. It was later rebranded as Macy's following the Federated-May merger of 2005.
