[3] In 1969, the city set aside land near the center of Mill Woods for the development of a town centre.

[5] The mall was projected to open in fall 1987 but was delayed to late 1988 after Woodward's sold their real estate assets to Cambridge in October 1985.

[17] In 2017, then-building owner RioCan announced a plan to redevelop the site over the next 25 years, which would include a new transit station to serve the Mill Woods LRT stop (which opened in November 2023) and two new 18-story residential towers.

[18] In July 2022, Co-op announced that they would be closing its Mill Woods Town Centre location at the end of January 2023 due to declining sales.

[20] The Mill Woods Transit Centre is located on the north side of the mall on Hewes Way.
