Northwest Mall was a shopping mall located in the Lazybrook/Timbergrove neighborhood of Houston, Texas near the intersection of U.S. Route 290 and Loop 610. The mall opened in October 1968, two weeks after its sister property, Almeda Mall, opened on the south side of Houston. Both Northwest and Almeda were developed by The Rouse Co., through subsidiaries Northwest Mall, Inc. and Almeda Mall, Inc. respectively. The malls were nearly twins of each another. Northwest Mall was originally anchored by JCPenney and Foley's, with Woolworth's, Palais Royal, and Houston based Battelstein's as its three junior anchors.
The mall has 794,092 square feet (73,773.6 m2) of leasable space.
Due to poor performance, high vacancy rates, and severe disrepair and damage from Hurricane Ike and Hurricane Harvey, Northwest Mall closed permanently on March 31, 2017.
The last remnant of the mall, Carolyn Thompson's Antique Center, which operated on the first floor of the original JCPenney's anchor, closed on December 31, 2021. The mall is now 100% vacated, abandoned, and awaiting demolition and redevelopment of the site. Despite the mall's deteriorating state, demolition has not happened yet as of January 2026.
