About Us
Park Plaza to City Center:
In the late 1960’s the president of the Miles Kimball Company, Ted Leyhe and Mrs. Kimball brought the extremely well known Architect Welton Becket to Oshkosh. He was chosen to design this facility as one of the first central business district enclosed malls.
Mr. Becket’s trademarks/styles are shown throughout the building. A 5 story glass filled center court, specially colored concrete inside and out, teak floors and a 2 story parking ramp are a few examples. Mr. Becket’s renowned list of architectural projects can be referenced at Welton Becket - Wikipedia.
Park Plaza Mall held all the major retailers such as Sears, JCPenny’s, Prange’s as well as all of the small retailers that typically filled almost every mall in the US. As malls have faded into a part of our history, City Center Associates began an adaptive reuse project in the early 2000’s to repurpose the mall into Class A office space.
Today City Center hosts many businesses such as 4 Imprint, Arts for Kids Daycare, Becket’s Restaurant, Eastbay, MDS Communications, Silver Star, Social Security Local Office and a US Bank Call Center. The Shops at City Center are: Caramel Crisp, Mara’s Brazilian Cuisine, Planet Perk, Trillium Salon and UFIT.
