The mall has a gross leasable area of 708,000 square feet (65,800 m2).[4] It is currently owned by Macerich, having been purchased from Wilmorite Properties of Rochester, New York in 2004.[5][6]
The dawn of the 2020s saw several storied traditional department store retailers update its brick-and-mortar formats after being encroached upon to a degree by several digital retailers in recent years
In August 2018, it was announced department store retailer The Bon-Ton would be shuttering after it was unable to elect any new conditions to satisfy its established long-term debt. As of February 2023, the previous The Bon-Ton outpost is in the approval stages to become townhouses and 400 luxury apartments.[7][8][9]
In 2018, it was revealed Saratoga Hospital would be reconstructing Sears after it had announced to shutter as part of an ongoing decision to phase out of their traditional brick-and-mortar format.[10][11]
In March 2022, Macerich, the mall development firm, unveiled its plan for a future enhanced development with up to 400 luxury apartments as well as townhomes, something it has done at its malls before including Tysons Corner Center. The developers desire to add many additional features such as a theater, art gallery, microbreweries, distilleries, row houses, an indoor pool, cocktail lounges, and even laboratories and research centers.[12]
