There are 6 vacant anchor pads on the site that were once occupied by Macy's, Foley's, Palais Royal, Dillard's, Sears, Premiere Cinemas, JCPenney, Lord & Taylor, Mervyn's, and Montgomery Ward.

Revolving around a "Central Park" theme, complete with a sculpture court, Greenspoint was at one point the largest mall in Greater Houston before the Galleria's later expansions in the 1980s and 2000s.

[19] Much of the Renaissance at Greenspoint was dropped with the exception without agreements other than Premiere Cinema's decision to build a multiscreen movie theater and GlennLock Sports Bar & Grill signing a lease.

[21] Lacking the promised, unified refresh of Greenspoint Mall combined with high crime rates resulted in escalating vacancies.

[23] Later that year when Hurricane Harvey hit Houston, displaced flood victims exceeded the capacity for shelter at the NRG Stadium; 259 people were relocated to the former Macy's anchor.

[24] Under contract for purchase in 2017 by potential new owner, Global Plaza Union, rumors suggested that a plan to demolish the interior of the Greenspoint Mall was imminent.

[25] The plans did not develop and the Greenspoint Mall continued operations reaching greyfield status with vacancies surpassing occupancy.

[26] The mall's interior closed temporarily for repairs in 2023 but reopened with a handful of stores operating with a seven day a week, 11am to 7pm schedule.
