[1] In December 2012, mediation between officials of the two cities resulted in a draft agreement under which the mall and other land west of Interstate 205 would eventually be annexed by Milwaukie.

[5] The two-level enclosed mall, with 1,218,000 square feet (113,200 m2) of retail space officially opened on March 6, 1981, built by Ernest W. Hahn, Inc.[2] and designed by Seattle architects John Graham & Company.

[7] Original anchors included JCPenney, Meier & Frank, Nordstrom, Sears and Montgomery Ward.

As part of the construction the area formerly occupied by the ice rink was gutted, and the Carter sculptures were removed.

Designed by architectural firm DLR Group, the renovation and expansion added approximately 40 new stores and restaurants, many in a new lifestyle center on the south side, and a new 75,000 sq ft (7,000 m2), 20-screen Century multiplex theater.

The renovation also put in tranquility ponds, new flooring, lighting, furniture, escalators, elevators, handrails, and exterior upgrades.

A shooting occurred on December 11, 2012, which left three people, including the gunman, dead, and one person seriously wounded.

A total of 17 rounds were fired from Roberts' rifle, and there were about 10,000 shoppers present at the mall at the time of the attack.

[17] In early 2020, remodeling of the former Sears space began to replace the site with a Dick's Sporting Goods location.
