Alameda Towne Centre (previously known as South Shore Shopping Center) has served Alameda and its neighbors for a half a century. Located at the crossroads of Otis Drive and Park Street on Alameda Island, the 657,000 square-foot, newly re-branded Alameda Towne Centre is well underway of an $80 million master-planned expansion and redevelopment. Designed as a neighborhood community center and gathering place for the residents of Alameda and the surrounding areas, the Centre is also home to anchor stores including – Borders, Trader Joe’s, Beverly’s, Safeway, Old Navy, TJ Maxx, and Bed Bath & Beyond. Other newly opened stores include, The Children’s Place, Dress Barn, Massage Envy, Nine West and Zeytini Restaurant and Bar. Chipotle, Jamba Juice, Daphne’s Greek Café will be opening soon. Kohl’s is scheduled to open Spring 2009.

We are working hard to redevelop our shopping center into one that Alameda can call its own. We currently are in negotiations with fifteen new tenants, including five new restaurants, children’s clothing, women’s ready-to-wear, and much more. Our unique, open-air shopping environment provides an experience like no other. We offer open air promenades with a central fountain area creating a relaxing atmosphere to shop, read a book, eat, or just a place to de-stress and unwind. The interior mall's center court is complimented with a custom-designed fountain created by a well-known Bay Area artist. This fun and whimsical fountain harmonize with our lush landscaping of several types of exotic greenery, creating pure serenity.
