Melvin Simon & Associates, owned by brothers Melvin Simon and Herbert Simon, was founded in 1960 in Indianapolis, Indiana, and had long been one of the top shopping center developers in the United States. In 1996, Simon DeBartolo Group was created when Simon Property merged with former rival DeBartolo Realty Corp. This was shortly after DeBartolo Realty became a publicly traded company encompassing the shopping mall interests of the Edward J. DeBartolo Sr. family, another leading developer. Simon DeBartolo rapidly acquired assets in the then-fragmented industry. Notable acquisitions included The Retail Property Trust and a group of properties held by IBM's pension plan in 1997 and Corporate Property Investors (CPI) in 1998. Following the CPI acquisition in 1998, the company announced it was reverting to its original name, Simon Property Group, as the DeBartolo family was resuming its private real-estate development operation, while retaining their interest in Simon. Simon continued to be a prolific acquirer of shopping centers, including a portfolio from New England Development in 1999; several prime properties from Rodamco North America in 2002 (including Houston Galleria in Houston, Texas and SouthPark Mall in Charlotte, North Carolina); several high-profile properties such as Dadeland Mall, Fashion Valley Mall, Copley Place, Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, and Stanford Shopping Center; and in 2004, Chelsea Premium Outlets (now simply named "Premium Outlets"). In 2003, Simon became a co-owner of The Kravco Company, which became Kravco Simon. On April 3, 2007, a partnership including Simon agreed to acquire the Mills Corporation.〔(Simon Property Group Inc SPG (NYSE) ), Reuters. Accessed September 17, 2007. "On April 3, 2007, SPG-FCM Ventures, LLC, a joint venture between an entity owned by Simon Property and funds managed by Farallon Capital Management, completed the acquisition of The Mills Corporation."〕 In June 2011, Simon Property Group entered into a partnership with Nintendo to provide complimentary 3DS Wi-Fi hotspots at nearly 200 of its malls.〔Frank Cifaldi,Gamasutra.

In December 2013, Simon announce it would form a REIT of its smaller malls and community shopping centers called Washington Prime Group (Initially to be named SpinCo). The spin-off was created in May 2014 and is headed by Mark Ordan who was the final CEO of the Simon-brought Mills Corporation. The regional malls in WPG are still managed by Simon and flagged as Simon Properties on websites and inside their malls, while Washington Prime manages the "strip centers" of the portfolio in-house. In September 2014, WPG announced to acquire Glimcher Realty Trust in which Washington Prime Group will be renamed "''WP Glimcher''" when the deal is made by early 2015.〔"()." September 18, 2014.
