The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk

About

The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk, or simply New Orleans Riverwalk, Riverwalk Outlets, or The Riverwalk, is an outlet center located in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, along the Mississippi River waterfront, stretching from the base of Canal Street, upriver to the New Orleans Morial Convention Center, and is connected to the Hilton New Orleans Riverside hotel.

The mall was originally known as Riverwalk Marketplace, a festival marketplace developed by the Rouse Company and opened to the public on August 29, 1986. However, the mall failed to make a profit, forcing Rouse to initiate a major remodel in 1987, which was not met with success either. The MV Bright Field crashed into the mall on December 14, 1996 after it lost electricity, and the mall also suffered critical damages from Hurricane Katrina in late August 2005, forcing General Growth Properties (GGP) to temporarily shut down the center.
