History

The mall was developed by Melvin Simon & Associates with real-estate investment firm Rose Associates as part of the 1976 Pentagon City Phased-Development Site Plan. [3] It opened in fall 1989 with 860,000 sq. ft. of space [4] on 25 acres, with Macy's and Nordstrom as anchor stores (original plans were for Bambergers) [5] and approximately 150 other stores, and a 4,524-capacity parking garage; the office tower part of the complex opened a little later, [6] and the 345-room hotel the following year. [7] The interior featured a white color scheme and skylit atria extending in two wings from the central courtyard. [7] The mall theater, Loews Pentagon City 6, closed on January 1, 2003, and was replaced by a clothing store. [8]

Expansion of the mall, including outward-facing stores on Hayes Street, was approved by the county board in 2013, [3] at which time it had more than 170 stores. [9] [10] It was completed in 2016. [11] [12] As of 2018, the mall had 1.05 million sq ft (98 thousand m2) of space. [13]

On March 23, 2023, it was announced that IKEA will be opening a 5,000 sqft "Plan and Order" specialty format, the first in the Washington, D.C. region. It will feature interior design planning among IKEA specialists with any ordered furniture then delivered to a customer's residence. [14]
