History
The Streets at Southpoint took four years of planning and over two years of construction. It opened on March 8, 2002 and had around 300,000 visitors during its first three days of operation. The mall is home to many firsts for the area, including North Carolina's first Nordstrom and Apple Store. Other stores that were new to the Research Triangle area included Aveda, bebe, California Pizza Kitchen, Charlotte Russe, Coldwater Creek, Hollister Co., and Pottery Barn Kids. The Streets at Southpoint was the first mall to come to the Durham area in nearly three decades. Its March opening was chosen as the most important story of the year in Durham's Top 10 Business Stories of 2002.
