Holiday Center (Moorhead, Minnesota)

Holiday Center is located on the former site of the Holiday Mall. The Holiday Mall (formerly the Mayfair Shopping Center) was built in 1963, and torn down in 2001. After a lengthy standstill, businesses are moving into the Holiday Center just north of I-94. Revitalization plans for what was once the Holiday Mall first surfaced in spring 2000. Specifically, MHA hoped to redevelop a 24-acre commercial tract of property north of Interstate Highway No. 94 and east of Eighth Street into a retail center and a Marriott Hotel. Moorhead Holiday Associates LLP planned to build a full-service hotel and conference center, major retailer, retail strip mall, branch bank and restaurant on the 24-acre site. In April 2001, Moorhead Holiday Associates completed the $3.6 million purchase of the Holiday Mall. Three years and $41 million later, a good part of the development remained empty except for the Courtyard by Marriott hotel and attached Moorhead Area Conference Center, Village Inn restaurant and a Wells Fargo Bank branch.
