Circle Centre Mall was an indoor shopping mall located in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. Circle Centre Mall was opened to the public on September 8, 1995, and incorporated existing downtown structures such as the former L. S. Ayres flagship store. The mall is only anchored by the offices for The Indianapolis Star. The space occupied by former anchors Carson Pirie Scott, Regal Cinemas, and Tilt Studio is vacant. The mall closed its doors on December 31, 2025.
The mall consisted of 99 stores on four levels with a gross leasable area of 729,981 square feet (67,817.5 m2). When first conceived in the 1980s, it was intended to contain the existing Ayres and William H. Block department stores along with one or two others new to the city. Before the mall could open, both the Ayres and Block stores had closed, leaving Nordstrom and Parisian (later converted to Carson's) as anchors.
The third level featured a food court. The fourth level featured vacant entertainment venues (former Tilt Studio and a former nine-screen United Artists movie theater), but also now contains non-retail tenants.
The construction of the mall cost $307.5 million. Efforts were made in its design to incorporate historic elements, such as the retention of the facades of buildings that had previously existed on the site.
With the closure of Nordstrom in 2011 and that of Carson's on April 29, 2018, the mall had no department stores. In response to the changing retail conditions, the mall looked to non-traditional mall usages; in 2014, for example, The Indianapolis Star moved its offices into part of the space vacated by Nordstrom. On April 1, 2025, the south end of the mall closed to make way for redevelopment into a multi-use campus known as Traction Yards.
