Desert Sky Mall is a regional shopping center located in west Phoenix, Arizona, at the intersection of 75th Avenue and Thomas Road. Originally developed by Westcor and currently managed by Macerich, the mall features anchor stores such as Curacao, Burlington, Mercado de los Cielos, and Dillard's Clearance Center, with one vacant anchor previously occupied by Sears. It also functions as a transit hub for Valley Metro Bus services, serving the local community.
The mall has recently gained significant attention due to a structural incident. On November 20, 2025, multiple news outlets reported a partial roof collapse at the property following a powerful storm in the area. Emergency officials responded to the scene to assess the situation and ensure safety.
This event has highlighted concerns about infrastructure resilience and public safety in commercial spaces, drawing media focus to the mall's condition and operations. While the incident has temporarily elevated its profile, Desert Sky Mall remains a recognized retail and transit location in the region, continuing to serve west Phoenix residents amid ongoing evaluations and repairs.
