The first expansion of the mall was done in 1973-1974. A Northeast Wing (in medium gray) and parking garage were added. Robinson's of Florida opened as a third anchor. When construction dust settled, WEST SHORE PLAZA encompassed approximately 869,000 leasable square feet and contained sixty-two stores. Free parking was now provided for nearly 4,000 autos.

Maas Brothers anchored the north end of the mall for 25 years. The store was rebranded by Miami-based Burdines in 1991 and Macy's in 2005.

Pantry Pride was shuttered in 1979, with its space divided into five stores. The structure was expanded southward in the mid-1980s. Part of this addition, and a portion of a vacant Walgreen Drug, were used for the mall's first Food Court (in dark gray). An indoor-outdoor face lift was completed in May 1993, with the complex redone in a Spanish-Mediterranean motif. This project comprised a Phase One, 1990-2000s mall renovation.  


The WEST SHORE Saks opened in November 1998. Its construction was part of the mall's Phase Two renovation. This project included two parkade garages.
