An exterior view of THE CENTER. After its suitability as a retail facility waned in the mid-1990s, it was converted into an office complex.

A view of THE CENTER parking garage. The retail-office structure has five levels (Applewood Mall, Bank of Nebraska Mall, Cherrywood Mall, Dovetree Mall and Elkwood Mall). The parking structure has two enclosed floors with a Level 3 deck on the top.
