Fourth Street Live!
Kentucky, United States · built 2004
Fourth Street Live! (or 4th Street Live!) is a 350,000-square-foot (33, 000 m2) entertainment district located on 4th Street, between Liberty Street and Muhammad Ali Boulevard, in Downtown Louisville, Kentucky, United States. Fourth Street Live! first opened to the public on June 1, 2004, and all stores were completed for the grand opening on October 30, 2004. City planners hoped that the district would attract further commercial business development while providing an attractive entertainment venue for the city's hotel and tourist business as well as the local population. Traffic on 4th Street through the complex is closed and covered for large public gatherings such as music concerts and other events. Fourth Street Live! was originally known as a failed shopping mall and office complex known as the Louisville Galleria, which opened on September 29, 1982, on the former site of River City Mall. The Cordish Companies, under an affiliate called Louisville Galleria LLC, redeveloped the mall into Fourth Street Live! from April 2003 to June 2004. The complex originally featured retail tenants, such as Borders Books and Music, until the mass closures in 2011, where Cordish eventually began "de-malling" the complex.
