The **Overstreet Mall** is a series of pedestrian bridges in [Uptown Charlotte](/source/Uptown_Charlotte). Proposed in 1971 and completed around 1977, the design was based on the design of the Milan Galleria and the Montreal Place Ville-Marie. The mall has about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of walkways and bridges that connect various buildings between Three Wells Fargo Center and Truist Center.[1][2]

Rodney Little of Little & Co. said that in 1975, based on a [Minneapolis](/source/Minneapolis) design, was expected to be a big success as concern began about retailers moving to the suburbs. For this reason, Southern National Center did not face a major street, but was intended to be part of a network of bridges between office buildings and major stores such as [Belk](/source/Belk) and [Ivey's](/source/Dillard's). Another reason for locating along College Street was the concern Tryon Street would run out of space.[3] However, in the 1980s, the Charlotte City Council decided to limit additional walkways,[4] and the uptown Belk and Ivey's closed by the end of the decade.[5]

## Connected facilities
