With 198 tenants and 1,558,678 square feet (144,805.9 m2) of gross leasable area, it is the third-largest mall in Georgia.

The three-level mall -Mall, Plaza and Market featured 800,000 square feet (74,000 m2) of retail space.

There were 52 original tenants, including a bowling alley, indoor golf driving range, and a Kresge five and dime store.

[6] In 2000, the celebration of the Rich's Great Tree moved to the flagship store from Underground Atlanta, after having been held downtown for decades.

The former Rich's-Macy's location at Lenox Square became the flagship of Macy's Central until all of the company's divisions had consolidated into one.

[11] Visited by more than 35 million people a year, Lenox Square is one of the most popular and profitable retail centers in the United States.

In keeping with a then current retail trend, a major renovation and expansion in the early 1970s enclosed the entire shopping center.

[16] A second expansion completed in 1980 added a three-level section at the back of the mall which included a food court.

The new food court was soon joined by a 19-story, 370,000 sqft (gross), class-A office building, a twin-like 24-story hotel, 1,800 space, five-level partially submerged combined hotel-office parking garage (two below ground), and 800-space four-level retail pre-cast concrete parking deck.

A significant 2007 expansion enlarged the existing Neiman Marcus by 52,000 square feet (4,800 m2) and added a 36,000-square-foot (3,300 m2) an upper level to the wing connecting the store to the main mallway.

In Fall 2013 another renovation took place in the mall with additions of both exterior and interior with new lightning, landscaping, windowing, and many more.

[citation needed] After a string of shootings and robberies, the mall now has security measures in place and requires people under the age of 18 to have adult supervision after 3 pm.

These include W Hotel, The Whitley, and properties belonging to the Grand Hyatt, InterContinental, Waldorf Astoria, and Westin chains.

In addition, Phipps Plaza is located to the northeast of Lenox Square across Peachtree Road.
