Laurel Plaza

Laurel Plaza was a regional shopping mall in North Hollywood, Los Angeles opened in 1968 and sold in 2014. Upon opening it was 600,000 square feet. May Company California was the department store anchor and it had 30 specialty and high fashion shops, an ice skating rink, restaurants, snack facilities and a central mall.[1] Prior to the opening of the Laurel Plaza mall, May Co. marketed itself as part of Valley Plaza, a catch-all name for diverse shopping areas along Laurel Canyon and Victory boulevards.

After the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the mall was closed due to damage but the department store May Co. remained open. It became a Robinsons-May in 1993, later Macy’s in 2006 which operated until 2016, after the property was sold for redevelopment.[2]

As of 2020, the site was under construction to become NOHO West a mixed-use development including retail.[3]
