History

The center opened on October 28, 2004, with JCPenney, Macy's, and Robinsons-May (now the Macy's Men's, Children's, and Home store) as the anchors.

The mall increased the city's sales tax income by 44% in its first year of operation.[2]

In 2006, the former Robinsons-May store was converted to a Macy's Men's and Home Store to complement the existing Macy's.
