• A complete remodel of all building entrances to feature modern internally lit translucent glass panels, sliding doors, metal canopy and hardscape.
• Three upgraded restrooms featuring contemporary materials and amenities.
• Redesign of the mall's common areas with upgraded lighting and new signage to make finding retailers and restaurants easier.

New food options include Charley's Grilled Subs and Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers.

New retail stores are also part of the updates.

See's Candies is a new addition to the upper level and Michael Kors will open this fall on the lower level.
