Formerly known as the Eastgate Consumer Mall, this building was a shopping mall in Indianapolis, Indiana, located at Shadeland Avenue and East Washington Street. Built in 1957, the mall at one time had tenants including J.C. Penney and Sears. It was sold to the Simon Property Group in 1981. However, the mall faced competition from another Simon-owned center, Washington Square Mall (located approximately 4 miles to the east), and business suffered. Simon sold the property in 2002.

After the sale by Simon, most of the stores soon left. Burlington Coat Factory departed in 2004, and the mall's last tenant, optometrist Dr. Tavel (who had an office in the mall since 1957), moved out in 2006. The property was sold to Lifeline Data Centers in 2008.

  • The long-vacant Eastgate Consumer Mall finally is getting a new tenant: a data-storage and web-hosting company. Lifeline Data Centers plans to reuse all or part of the 370,000-square-foot mall.
  • $23 million investment planned to renovate to 450,000 sf data center, 200,000 sf of low cost office space. Site was selected due in part to $1.4 million tax abatement over the first five years, under East Side Revitalization District.
