The mall is still operating, and the future-milestone slot stays open

The official mall site still lists hours and major tenants, while the public redevelopment record still points to a later approval and lease-clearance process rather than a completed teardown.

This page deliberately ends on a living watch-state instead of pretending the story is over. As of April 8, 2026, the mall remains open in practice even after the 2025 sale and demolition filing, which means the eventual demolition, adaptive reuse, preservation win, or hybrid outcome belongs here as the next major milestone once it truly happens.
