The mall was originally developed in the mid-1960s by the Oxford Development Co. as the first shopping complex in Greater Pittsburgh to be built as a fully enclosed structure. The two-level complex is currently owned by Simon Property Group, who acquired it in 1997. It is anchored by Dick's Sporting Goods, Macy's (formerly Horne's and Lazarus), and Target (formerly Gimbels, Kaufmann's and Boscov's) with one vacant anchor last occupied by Sears. The mall features over 134 specialty stores. The mall also houses a food court and several professional offices. South Hills Village was the largest in Greater Pittsburgh until the Monroeville Mall, also built by the Oxford Development Company, opened in 1969.
