The Westgate Shopping Center, at northeast corner of Whitney Way and Odana Road, opened in 1960.   It was 'malled' in 1974.

Say 'hello' to the shapes of things to come

Madison Plan Commission approves demolition of Westgate Mall for new development.  (Wisconsin State Journal, 8/11/2020)
The plans no longer include restaurant and retail spaces that were originally envisioned for the space. Instead, the project would include five buildings of housing with 464 multi-family units and a future phase for a 3-8 story office, medical office or clinic on the 9 acre space that now holds Westgate Mall. Previous plans put the total cost of the project at $100 million.
