Eastgate Consumer Mall

Eastgate Consumer Mall was a shopping mall in Indianapolis, Indiana, located at Shadeland Avenue and East Washington Street. Built in 1957, the mall at one time had tenants including H. P. Wasson and Company, J.C. Penney and Sears. It was sold to the Simon Property Group in 1981. However, the mall faced competition from another Simon-owned center, Washington Square Mall (located approximately 4 miles to the east), and business suffered. Simon sold the property in 2002.

After the sale by Simon, most of the stores soon left. Burlington Coat Factory departed in 2004, and the mall's last tenant, optometrist Dr. Tavel (who had an office in the mall since 1957), moved out in 2006. As of early 2007, Eastgate still stands, vacant, with an uncertain future. The property, available for $3 million, is rumored to be under assessment by a developer as of mid 2007.
