The SoNo Collection is a big, modern shopping mall in the South Norwalk area of Norwalk, Connecticut. It's a popular place to shop and hang out. This mall opened its doors on October 11, 2019. It was first planned and started by a company called GGP Inc.. Later, Brookfield Property Partners became the owner, and Brookfield Properties manages the mall today.

The SoNo Collection is the fourth large mall in Fairfield County. It opened in different stages, adding new stores and fun art displays over time. It has two very well-known main stores: Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's. These are the only Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's stores in southern Connecticut. The mall is easy to get to, located right next to Interstate 95 and Route 7.

History of The SoNo Collection

The idea for The SoNo Collection started in 2017. A company called General Growth Properties (GGP) announced they would build the mall. They began construction work in late 2017. A special ceremony, called a groundbreaking, was held on August 16, 2017. This event marked the official start of building the mall.

In August 2018, another company, Brookfield Property Partners, bought GGP. This meant Brookfield continued the work on the mall. On October 18, 2018, construction began on the Bloomingdale's store, which is one of the mall's main anchor stores.
