The owners of Plaza Mayor at the Crossroads (formerly Crossroads Mall) said Friday the property will close on Oct. 31.

The closure will affect about four dozen retailers that operate businesses inside the building.

The owners, CRM Properties Group, a division of Raptor Properties, said the closure won't impact Santa Fe South Schools, which began holding classes this fall in a renovated anchor space that formerly was the home of a Montgomery Ward at the mall.

Raptor Properties said Friday it is shifting its efforts from bringing new retail into the building into marketing the site for other uses.
