In 1991 and 1992, the mall was expanded with a new Northwest Wing and Parisian anchor store. A state-of-the-art movie multiplex and 8-bay Food Court were installed on a third level. The shopping hub now encompassed 819,000 leasable square feet and contained ninety-nine stores and services.
Saks Fifth Avenue was expanded -by 48,000 square feet- during the early '90s renovation.

The existing mall was redecorated in the most opulent fashion imaginable. Marble flooring, cherry wood columns and glittering chandeliers were installed. In this image, we see the refurbished central plaza, now known as the Court of the South.

A large rotunda in the new Parisian wing extended upward for 3 levels. It was known as the Monarch Court, so named because its main entry faced Monarch Drive.
