Fashion Square Mall is an enclosed retail shopping mall developed by Leonard L. Farber[2] at the southwest corner of US 29 and Rio Road, in Albemarle County, that opened in 1980.[3] Operated by the Simon Property Group since 1997,[2] the mall offers 570,000 square feet of commercial retail area.[1] It is operated by the Simon Property Group.


Development

The project was originally to be located in the City of Charlottesville on what is now the site of the Seminole Square Shopping Center[4].


Violence at the mall

The mall has been the center of large fights among teenagers and young adults. In March 2010 the mall had to be closed because of a large melee involving over 100 individuals[5].

Security concerns

The mall's management company, Simon Property Group, came under fire following an attempted child abduction that was not reported to police by mall security. A man had grabbed a two-year-old girl in late November 2012. After catching him, security officers let him go and did not report him to authorities. [6]
