The last remnant of the mall, Carolyn Thompson's Antique Center, which operated on the first floor of the original JC Penney's anchor, closed on December 31, 2021.

Other original occupants in the mall include Piccadilly Cafeteria, Palais Royal, Lane Bryant, Lerner Shops, Susie's, Battelstein's, Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour, Gordon's Jewellers, and Thom McAn shoes.

[1] In 2007, Levcor Inc purchased the main mall, giving them approximately 80% ownership of the property with only the former Foley's, later Macy's, having its own independent owner.

[2] With the closure, only Carolyn Thompson's Antique Center, Palais Royal, La Chapa sports bar, and the Post Oak Club remained open at Northwest.

Its mall entrance no longer exists, having been walled off shortly before Northwest's closure, with only the lower ground floor open to the general public.

Northwest Mall has been named the preferred site to demolish and develop the acreage into the south terminus hub for the eventual high speed rail line between Houston and Dallas.

Due to storm damage caused by Hurricane Ike, in 2008, both Bath & Body Works and Macy's closed their respective locations at Northwest Mall.

The other two alternatives were the industrial site directly southwest of the Mall and the nearby METRO Northwest Transit Center.
