MacArthur Center, Norfolk

The MacArthur Center is a three-level indoor shopping destination, establishing itself as the largest mall in the city and one of the premier retail centers across the Hampton Roads region. Its development was a city-wide effort, with nearly $100 million of public investment fueling infrastructure upgrades and parking expansions to support this major commercial venture.

Stepping inside MacArthur Center, you'll find an upscale environment featuring a diverse array of over 140 shops, dining spots, and entertainment hubs, including a sprawling 18-screen Regal cinema on the top floor. Notably, this mall brought several new-to-market retailers, such as Nordstrom, White House Black Market, Coach, and Pottery Barn.

Beyond just shopping, MacArthur Center played a pivotal role in revitalizing downtown Norfolk. The mall’s success catalyzed street improvements and new residential developments. Outside the mall, you’ll find 16 captivating display windows known as “Windows on History.” Each one walks you through 400 years of Norfolk and Hampton Roads history, starting with the Jamestown settlement and continuing through the late 20th century.
