The mall was substantially renovated during the 1980s. A partial Upper Level, including a 14-screen movie megaplex, was built. Moreover, the Century House restaurant was replaced by a large food court, known as The Marketplace.

An 8 million dollar face lift was completed in 1985. The remodeling resumed in 1987, when the aforementioned multiplex and The Marketplace food court (in medium gray) were added. With these improvements, the re-named CENTURY CITY SHOPPING CENTER & MARKETPLACE encompassed around 771,000 leasable square feet and housed over 150 stores and services.
