About
Southpoint Mall is a large two-floor shopping center located just off I-40 in Durham, NC. It largely replaced the somewhat smaller South Square Mall, which became vacant not long after Southpoint was completed and was subsequently demolished.
Southpoint has two main areas:
- an outdoor "streets" section which seems modeled after a downtown pedestrian-only shopping district in a large American city (but with perhaps a dash of Walt Disney World's "Main Street USA"), with tall retail buildings which (in a real shopping district) would be topped by residential apartments and small business offices; these buildings, however, seem to be entirely dedicated to the retail establishments they house.
- a regular two-story indoor mall with a food court
There is a large movie complex in the "streets" section.
