WINROCK CENTER: ALBUQUERQUE, NM

Pete Dudley's Commentary:

Posted December 2, 2006 (user submitted)

Albuquerque has two malls built in the 1960, Winrock and Coronado. Oddly, they were accross Luisiana Blvd from each other. Since I moved here in 1984 Coronado has been the big one but Winrock has done fine also and has recently been improved.

About two years ago stores started closing up in Winrock. It seems the owners had decided to redevelop it as an open sky, town center style mall so they were not allowing tennants to renew their leases. One by one all the stores closed (except for Dillards who owned their space).

Unfortunately, during this time another developer created a third open air mall accross the street. Now the Winrock owners have decided not to redevelop their mall. Winrock now sits empty, rotting in the sun.

Greetings!

Just heard about your site on NPR, and I thought I'd submit the WINROCK CENTER in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I was recently at Winrock and was shocked to see the only store still open for business was Dillard's. The rest of the place is a ghost town. Eerie when you think that just a few years ago it was home to over 100 stores and businesses.

After doing a little research I found following article, detailing the demise of this mall, once one of New Mexico's biggest.

Cheers,

Robert H.
