The DEVARGAS property enjoyed its status as only mall in Santa Fe for over 11 years. VILLA LINDA MALL (now known as SANTA FE PLACE) was officially dedicated in July 1985.

The third major Santa Fe shopping hub opened for business in October 1993. Originally known as SANTA FE FACTORY STORES, the open-air complex functioned under two new names before being rechristened, as FASHION OUTLETS SANTA FE, in November 2007.

In 2002, a vacant Wards has just been replaced by a new Albertsons. J.C. Penney pulled out of the mall, in favor of a new store at VILLA LINDA MALL, in July 1986. The abandoned DEVARGAS Penney's was divided into three spaces. With these improvements, the mall covered around 361,500 leasable square feet and housed forty-two stores and services. There were two outparcels. 

A long-vacant Albertsons, on the southeast corner of the complex, was retenanted by Phoenix's Sunflower Farmers Markets chain. They leased a portion of the building and opened for business in August 2009.

The Sunflower Farmers Markets enterprise was engulfed by another Phoenix-based organic grocer. Sprouts Farmers Market rebranded the DEVARGAS Sunflower store in June 2012.
