From the mid-1990s to 2007, the mall was known as Westfield (Shoppingtown) West County and was one of seven St. Louis-area malls owned by the Australian mall company, until CBL & Associates acquired four out of five Westfield St. Louis malls in October 2007. In May 2011, it was announced that TIAA-CREF would receive 50% ownership of West County Center and several other CBL malls in an attempt to reduce CBL's debt.[2] 1969 mallThe original mall opened on February 5, 1969 at the southeast corner of I-270 and Manchester Road (Route 100) in Des Peres, Missouri. It was built on the site of the Manchester Drive-In movie theater, which many remember for the Easter sunrise services that were held there. It was {{convert|563621|sqft|m2}}, and anchored by Famous-Barr and JCPenney. The original mall closed on January 27, 2001 and was demolished (except for JC Penney which was remodeled) 2002 mallThe new West County Center, featuring {{convert|1138813|ft2|m2}}, opened on September 20, 2002. The US$230 million project added a 2-story Nordstrom, food court, and three parking garages. It also included a 2-story Dick's Sporting Goods above the café court. In 2009, the mall's vacant Lord & Taylor was adapted into a new wing housing Barnes & Noble and other retailers. The new mall has one of the city's two Apple Stores and the city's only Lego Store.[2] Dove signThe most famous part of the mall is the large dove sign that sits outside the mall next to Interstate 270. Created by Tony Amato, it has become a meeting place for thousands of people during its nearly 40-year life. The removal of the dove in early 2001 caused minor controversy among nearby churches. The dove was refurbished during the renovation, and in mid-2002, returned to its original perch. Today, it is in the parking lot outside of Nordstrom.[3] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.cblproperties.com/pag.nsf/CorpSiteByAlphaWeb/West+County+Center?opendocument |title=West County Center |publisher=CBL & Associates, Inc. |accessdate=2011-01-20 }} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=http://www.stltoday.com/business/local/article_cc96c09c-c646-59b6-bebc-c174c6635e21.html|title=West County Center is part of big mall deal|last=Bryant|first=Tim|date=May 11, 2011|work=St. Louis Post-Dispatch|publisher=STLtoday.com|accessdate=May 14, 2011}} 3. ^Lang, Lynne "Under the Dove, a Collection of Memories" 2002.
