[2] New York-based developer Lenrich Associates announced plans for "Mall 205", an enclosed shopping center with 50 stores that would cost $10 million, in March 1969 and construction began on June 12, 1969.

[6] A 75,000-square-foot (7,000 m2) multi-screen movie theater and food court were originally planned for inclusion in a 1996 expansion of Mall 205.

[8] In early 2001, Montgomery Ward and Emporium both closed the last of their stores, leaving both of the anchor spaces vacant at Mall 205.

Center Oak Properties of Gresham, Oregon (now known as CenterCal Properties) acquired the mall the same year and began a $20 million renovation,[9] adding a two-level Target store on the site of the former Montgomery Ward, and the Home Depot opened on the site of the former Emporium.

[1] Center Oak also added many other tenants to the mall, including Arch Fitters, Bed Bath & Beyond, 24 Hour Fitness, Circuit City, and Famous Footwear.
