The Shoppes at Carlsbad is a 1.1-million-square-foot enclosed regional mall at 2525 El Camino Real, originally dedicated in 1969 as Plaza Camino Real — San Diego County's first fully enclosed, regional-class shopping center. The entertainment wing houses a 12-screen Regal Cinemas multiplex, a 24 Hour Fitness Super-Sport club with lap pool and basketball court, and Dave & Buster's Carlsbad, which draws 6,600 monthly searches as one of Carlsbad's top entertainment-dining anchors. Macy's occupies two locations within the mall — a Women's Store and a Men's and Home Store — alongside JCPenney as department-store anchors, a configuration dating to the center's 1979 westward expansion that doubled leasable area to 1,148,400 square feet. The 2017 renovation added Zara, H&M, The Cheesecake Factory, and Yard House, repositioning the tenant mix toward dining and experiential retail after Steerpoint Capital acquired 727,000 square feet of the property and committed a $4 million capital-improvement plan. Direct access from Interstate 5 and Highway 78 places the mall within a 3.6-mile radius of LEGOLAND California, capturing both local and tourist traffic in the 92008 corridor. The property sits on 98 acres along the southern side of the Vista Way / Route 78 expressway, the same alignment it has occupied since its original 63-store, two-anchor opening in March 1969.
