Opened in 1960, the center lost most of its major stores in the late 1970s and underwent several failed attempts at renovation. HistoryEast Hills opened in 1960 under the development of Mellon-Stuart, a local engineering firm. It was built as an outdoor mall with Joseph Horne Company (Horne's) as the main department store. Other major tenants included G. C. Murphy, Kresge, and a Thorofare supermarket.[1] A year after the mall's opening, Horne's added a second store at the mall which specialized in discounted clothing.[2] The mall was largely vacated in the late 1970s, having lost most of its business to Monroeville Mall, a larger mall that also featured a Horne's. In 1979, Horne's closed its East Hills store, as did G. C. Murphy, Kresge, and Thorofare. The president of East Hills' merchants' association said in 1980 that East Hills' design was "outmoded" and not suitable for colder weather, since unlike Monroeville, East Hills' concourses were not enclosed.[3] In 1981, a local developer purchased the property with plans to convert it to a factory outlet mall.[4] Golden Dawn Supermarket opened in the former Thorofare in 1980,[5] which closed five years later and became Giant Eagle.[6] In 1987, the complex was renamed Eastgate Commerce Center, and was rezoned to allow for light industrial use.[7] Besides a Zayre discount store on an outparcel, the center remained largely vacant. Both Zayre and Giant Eagle closed in 1989.[8] Eastgate Associates bought the property in 1991. The company planned to renovate the mall, which had only seven tenants at that point, for light industrial use.[9] This redevelopment was unsuccessful.[10] By 1998, only 15 percent of the space had been reused.[11] In 1999, Petra Ministries bought the former Zayre store behind the mall and converted it to a church. They continued to own the mall property through January 2013, at which point it was put up for sale.[12] Between 1999 and 2007, Petra had attempted to get Walmart to build a store on the site.[13] The mall was demolished in 2001.[14] Lowe's and Kmart were also proposed as replacements for the mall, but as of 2013, the site remains vacant.[15] {{Portal|Pittsburgh}}References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=qwcvAAAAIBAJ&sjid=bE4EAAAAIBAJ&dq=east-hills-mall&pg=7220%2C505273|title=East Hills new concept in suburban shopping centers|date=March 2, 1960|work=Pittsburgh Press|page=58|accessdate=May 6, 2013}} {{Pittsburgh Shopping}}2. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=gUYqAAAAIBAJ&sjid=mk4EAAAAIBAJ&dq=east-hills-mall%20pittsburgh&pg=5839%2C3738695|title=Horne's marks second anniversary at East Hills with budget store for customer convenience|date=February 28, 1961|work=Pittsburgh Press|page=29|accessdate=May 6, 2013}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=qpJKAAAAIBAJ&sjid=820DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6884,2274744&dq=east-hills+pittsburgh+murphy&hl=en|title=Steps eyed to pump life into ailing East Hills Shopping Center|last=Gubanic|first=Barbara|date=February 19, 1980|work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|page=2|accessdate=6 May 2013}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=xvMdAAAAIBAJ&sjid=KF0EAAAAIBAJ&pg=6909,4181490&dq=east-hills+pittsburgh+kresge&hl=en|title=East Hills center may become factory outlet|last=Spatter|first=Sam|date=July 12, 1981|work=H1|accessdate=6 May 2013}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=QEMcAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Cl0EAAAAIBAJ&pg=6924,1018992&dq=east-hills+pittsburgh+golden-dawn&hl=en|title=Mellon Bank funding East Hills grocery store|date=October 18, 1980|work=The Pittsburgh Press|page=B13|accessdate=6 May 2013}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=VoMcAAAAIBAJ&sjid=UWIEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7042,7297581&dq=east-hills+pittsburgh+1960&hl=en|title=Possible grocery opening would boost East Hills|last=Miles|first=Yancy|date=June 27, 1985|work=The Pittsburgh Press|accessdate=6 May 2013}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=kJMcAAAAIBAJ&sjid=M2MEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1550,3506783&dq=eastgate-commerce-center+giant-eagle&hl=en|title=New owners sold on renewing life of East Hills plaza|last=Smith|first=Matthew P.|date=July 22, 1987|work=The Pittsburgh Press|page=E1|accessdate=6 May 2013}} 8. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=g4McAAAAIBAJ&sjid=mmMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3378,434818&dq=eastgate-commerce-center+giant-eagle&hl=en|title=Tax break pushed in effort to save mall|last=Scarton|first=Dana|date=November 16, 1989|work=The Pittsburgh Press|page=E1|accessdate=6 May 2013}} 9. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1144&dat=19910808&id=iPgjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=9WMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6744,4250134|title=East Hills mall to get 2nd life as commercial-industrial complex|last=Teece|first=David|date=August 8, 1991|work=The Pittsburgh Press|pages=EZ 1, 2|accessdate=6 May 2013}} 10. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=x7UqAAAAIBAJ&sjid=CmQEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6322,1395430&dq=eastgate-commerce-center&hl=en|title='Eastgate' shops for tenant-led revival|last=Teece|first=David|date=April 2, 1992|work=The Pittsburgh Press|pages=EZ 1|accessdate=6 May 2013}} 11. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=VjkxAAAAIBAJ&sjid=sW8DAAAAIBAJ&pg=5132,6474498&dq=eastgate-commerce-center&hl=en|title=Shopping around for redevelopment|date=August 19, 1998|work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|pages=East–2|accessdate=6 May 2013}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.newpittsburghcourieronline.com/index.php/featured-news/metro/9806-petra-property-goes-up-for-sheriff-s-sale|title=Petra property goes up for sheriff's sale|last=Clay|first=Donald|date=January 23, 2013|work=New Pittsburgh Courier|accessdate=6 May 2013}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://triblive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/business/s_493642.html#axzz2SUL2Mq8U|title=Wal-Mart plans store at East Hills mall|last=Daparma|first=Ron|date=February 17, 2007|work=Pittsburgh Tribune-Review|accessdate=6 May 2013}} 14. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=OYlIAAAAIBAJ&sjid=eHADAAAAIBAJ&pg=4489,3245956&dq=east-hills-mall+pittsburgh&hl=en|title=A new beginning|last=Fitzpatrick|first=Dan|date=September 5, 2001|work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|pages=C1, C3|accessdate=6 May 2013}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-city/east-hills-shopping-center-site-on-auction-block-671424/|title=East Hills Shopping Center site on auction block|last=Blazina|first=Ed|date=January 22, 2013|work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|accessdate=6 May 2013}} 6 : Shopping malls established in 1960|Shopping malls in Metro Pittsburgh|Demolished shopping malls in the United States|1960 establishments in Pennsylvania|2001 disestablishments in Pennsylvania|Urban decay in the United States |
