Espacio Urbano 15 Norte, Shopping center on Avenida Benidorm, Viña del Mar, Chile
Espacio Urbano 15 Norte is a shopping center spread across three levels that houses around 72 stores, including five major anchor stores and an extensive area with restaurants and food options. The building provides a complete shopping and dining experience in one location.
Ekono opened its first store outside Santiago on this site in 1990, and Homecenter Sodimac was later built beside it. Eight years later the complex became Viña Shopping, with Ekono rebranded as Líder and a food court, smaller shops, La Polar and a Cinemark cinema added. It took the name Espacio Urbano 15 Norte in 2008, and in September 2016 it was sold by Walmart Chile's Saitec to Confuturo and Corpseguros.
The mall's name comes from its address on Avenida Benidorm in the 15 Norte area of Viña del Mar, and it has carried the Espacio Urbano brand since 2008. Its Cinemark multiplex was the chain's first cinema outside Santiago, a detail locals still mention. Visitors today find a Happyland games centre and a Sportlife gym alongside the shops.
The center has ample parking available and is designed with multiple entrances to help visitors navigate easily. The different levels are connected by elevators and stairs, making all areas accessible throughout the shopping experience.
Since 2023, the center has undergone extensive renovations that added a new Falabella store to its roster. Dedicated spaces for food trucks were also created during this period, expanding the dining and beverage options available.
