Clay Terrace is a popular outdoor shopping area in Carmel, Indiana. It's like a big, open-air mall where you can find many stores and places to eat. This fun spot first opened its doors in 2004. It is currently managed by Washington Prime Group.

The Story of Clay Terrace

Clay Terrace opened in 2004. It was one of the very first "lifestyle centers" in Indiana. These centers are different from regular malls because they are often outdoors and feel more like a town square.

Other early lifestyle centers in Indiana included Jefferson Pointe in Fort Wayne and Metropolis in Plainfield.

Early Stores and Changes

Some of the first stores at Clay Terrace were Dick's Sporting Goods, Wild Oats Market (which later became Whole Foods), and DSW.

Over the years, stores have changed. For example, Old Navy moved to Clay Terrace in 2007. In 2014, Washington Prime Group took over ownership of Clay Terrace and several other shopping centers.

What You Can Find at Clay Terrace

Clay Terrace is home to about 78 different stores and restaurants. It has five main "anchor" stores, which are usually larger stores that attract many shoppers. The total size of the shopping area is about 500,000 square feet, all on one floor. It's a great place to shop, eat, and hang out with friends and family.
