History

Lakeline Mall was originally envisioned as being the size of Barton Creek Square and construction was expected to begin late 1986,^[2] however, those plans stalled, initially, due to the savings and loan crisis and later due to the discovery of two endangered species on the proposed site.^{[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]}

When Lakeline Mall opened on October 11, 1995 it did so with replicas of various city landmarks and hot hair balloons that would fire fake flames at periodic intervals, however, these landmarks were removed in 2013.^[10][11]

In Popular Culture

Lakeline Mall was featured in the 2002 movie The New Guy. ^[12]
