Lansing Mall - 1990s and 2000s

1990s and 2000s

Lansing Mall was purchased in 1997 by General Growth Properties, who soon embarked on a $30 million renovation of the entire property. The food court was remodeled to include more seating for customers, and new restroom facilities were added. Several new tenants were also added, including Barnes & Noble and Old Navy.

In May 2001 Montgomery Ward had bankruptcy and closed all its stores. Later that same year Hudsons became Marshall Field's. The eastern anchor remained vacant until 2002, when Younkers opened its first Lansing-area store in the space vacated by Montgomery Ward. Dunham's Sports was added next to Old Navy in 2004.

Marshall Field's was one of several nameplates to be converted to Macy's in 2006. The same year, Mervyns closed all of its Michigan operations. Steve & Barry's opened in the former Mervyns space in 2007, although Steve & Barry's closed one year later due to the chain's bankruptcy. TJ Maxx was eventually added as well, relocating from across the street. Old Navy closed in 2009.

In January 2013 the addition of a 50,000 square feet (4,645 m2) 12-screen cinema at the mall was announced, operated by Regal Entertainment Group.
