History
MainPlace Santa Ana was built on the site of Santa Ana Fashion Square shopping center that was at the site since 1958. Bullock's was one of Fashion Square's original anchors and the store predated the shopping center by four years. I. Magnin was another anchor at Fashion Square.
After a period of decline, JMB Property demolished most of the shopping center, except for the anchors, and had it replaced by MainPlace in 1987. Bullock's chose to stay on while I. Magnin ultimately decided not to remain. Along with Bullock's, Nordstrom and J.W. Robinson's were the new anchors when MainPlace first opened.
In 2000, JMB Urban, the successor to JMB, sold Mainplace and other mall properties to the American branch of Rodamco. Rodamco, in turn, sold it North American properties to Westfield in 2002 and Westfield renamed the property Westfield Shoppingtown MainPlace. Westfield later renamed the Westfield MainPlace in 2005.
In 2006, Westfield Group sought to revamp the mall in the face of losing local retail market share to the South Coast Plaza. In 2014, Westfield announced a $50 million renovation to the mall.
Macy's decided to close its men's and home store at the mall in 2012, and consolidate it with the main store. The old Macy's store was split between 24 Hour Fitness, Ashley Furniture Home Store, and an entertainment center. In December 2015, Westfield sold the mall to a consortium that was headed by Centennial Real Estate Company and included Montgomery Street Partners and USAA Real Estate Company.
On January 12, 2017, it was announced that Nordstrom would be closing on March 17, 2017.
The mall developers have recently announced a transformation that will be coming to the mall in later years. Project "Transform MainPlace" will be put into affect after all the details have been finalaized.
