Flooding was solved by building a huge double tunnel 30 feet (9.1 m) under the property in which Rock Creek now flows.

The store on the opposite end of the mall ("Dillard's North") sold men's and children's apparel.

Its design included massive skylights, decorative trees and banners, and a large staircase in the middle, with a pool of water beneath it.

In August 2005, plans were announced for the mall's sale, demolition, and replacement by a mixed-use development called The Gateway.

The mall was closed and shuttered on February 12, 2006, giving the current 30 or so stores chances to relocate and sell off their merchandise.
