"The Center of Smart Shopping" was the turn-of-the-century PEARLRIDGE slogan. In 1996, the two structures were given a comprehensive face lift. The names of four major mall components were changed as part of the renovation. The CONVENIENCE CENTER became PEARLRIDGE WEST. PHASE I morphed into UPTOWN; PHASE II into DOWNTOWN. PHASE III was now PEARLRIDGE EAST. Above, we see a circa-2000 detail drawing of the PHASE I / UPTOWN section.

A detail drawing of the PHASE II / DOWNTOWN mall also dates to the year 2000. The aforementioned 12 and 4-plex cinema occupies a great deal of space on two floors of the facility. A DOWNTOWN Food Court contains nine fast-food vendors (the Food Court in the UPTOWN mall features eight).
