- Hello everyone! And welcome back to the Colorado Springs region! Today we take a look at Chapel Hills Mall on the north side of town. This is the newer mall of the two, Opening in 1982, and would have a mixed start. The 80s would do pretty well for Chapel Hills, but the early 90s would start seeing struggles, to then proceed with great success in the late 90s and early 2000s. However the late 2000s and 2010s would not be kind To Chapel Hills Mall. As many stores would start leaving and relocating elsewhere, With 2018 seeing Namdar reality coming in for ownership. The pandemic would ultimately kill any hope of success, and Chapel Hills Mall is currently struggling with just about 50% occupancy. Join Sophia and I as we take a walk through this cozy Mall in the middle of the mountains!

What are your thoughts on Chapel Hills Mall, and which Colorado Springs mall do you think will be here to stay?
Both of them probably. Colorado loves it's malls. Same could be said about Minnesota.
I'm new to your channel, and I've grown up visiting both Chapel Hills and the Citadel malls. Both are nice malls, but going downhill, especially since Namdar took over ownership.
this was the mall i would go too i used to live in colorado springs it was the better of the two malls and much safer than the citadel mall. thanks for the memories
Great Video!!!!! I like the fountain!!! F+, Corey
Unfortunately this is the first year they have gone very minimum on Christmas decorations. Only the fountain area is decorated with a area for santa and a huge tree. I remember when the mall used to be decorated with large banners and lights everywhere. The neons were gorgeous! Too bad they never turn them on, there’s way more neon then whats on in your video, and as of recently the food court is the only one using neons still, and its not even real neon it’s been replaced with cheap blue strip lights. They fixed most of the escalators and the elevator for Black Friday but now they are mostly in dis repair again. For a few weeks the elevator, a staircase in the back of a long hallway, and the escalators in dillards and Macey’s were the only way to get downstairs. There’s constantly rain buckets everywhere because they wont repair the leaks, and its so sad to see this mall decline. I was happy on Black Friday because it was almost an image back into her glory days, halls littered with people, smiling children, music actually playing for once, etc. the way it stands as about a week ago, its back to the same old depressing decline. The huge empty parking lots are becoming torn up, and one is used for a motorcycle school ran in the mall. None of the food court businesses except gyros are seen anywhere else but this mall, dairy queen is gone not like in this video. However, the food court seems to be the most active area still with only 2-3 empty store fronts. It’s definitely got a few good years left, but unfortunately when the mall does die it will likely be demolished immediately after closure to make room for apartments, like they already did with the old sears. At 9:17 you can see the walled off area where sears was where apartments now exist. Also you can see the lone staircase i was talking about. I definitely believe citadel will go first, due to the crime rate and safety of the area. Thanks for making this video
As someone who is lived in Colorado Springs born and raised here and have been here more than 20 years I have to say the citadel is definitely the worse of the 2. I mean you're lucky if you walk out of there not being shot.
But chapel hills unfortunately is very much going down hill as well and I'm sure honestly both of them are going to die out pretty soon. I think the ones in Denver are here to stay for a while, but colorado springs is eventually going to lose their spots I think.
This was the most depressing mall I've ever been to. No point in it being open.
