In addition to the in-line mall stores, several other businesses are located in the Madison Square complex, including a Holiday Inn hotel, a Steak 'n Shake restaurant, and a TouchStar Cinemas movie theater.

[7] In the years following the renovation of 2006, a decrease in foot traffic and an increased crime threat led to many tenants of the mall relocating to other locations.

[13] Madison Square Mall was owned by CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.,[14] until it was sold to The Grove Huntsville LLC for $5 million in late April 2015.

Huntsville's Director of Urban Development, Shane Davis, made a statement regarding this move, and confirmed that the theater would not be demolished, and instead the plans would be reworked around the property.

Sears also announced it would return to the MidCity Huntsville development that will replace Madison Square Mall in a smaller store.

National Real Estate Investor listed MidCity as one of the 12 largest retail developments underway slated for delivery in 2017 or 2018.

[25] A smaller project, The Camp at Midcity, which is a small music and arts venue, was developed on the former Lone Star Grill property.

[29] In March 2018, it was announced that RCP companies had brought in Mark Taft to plan multiple restaurants and eating locations throughout Midcity.

[34] In December, it was announced that the Touchstar Cinemas Madison Square 12 would be replaced with a brand new venue, featuring the largest movie screen in Alabama.

[35] In January, it was announced that a Hotel Indigo would be developed on MidCity property, which is slated to feature 120 rooms and is planned for opening in mid-2021.

[37] In August, AL.com reported that local artist Logan Tanner will be creating a mural in dedication to the late Little Richard, which is set to appear on the Wahlburger's planned to open in the district.

The last remnant of the mall, Touchstar's Madison Square 12 theater, closed its doors permanently on May 2, 2021, and was demolished months afterwards.

In February, artist Morgan Echols completed a colorful, geometric shipping container mural next to Kamado Ramen.
