In 2010, UNIVERSITY MALL is anchored by the original Sears, along with Macy's, Burlington Coat Factory and a demoted Dillard's (now a Clearance Center). The west anchor, housing Penney's between 1974 and 2005, hosted a Steve & Barry's until that chain went out of business in early 2009.
An abandoned J.C. Penney has been rebuilt as Rithm (Research, Innovation, Technology, Habitat, Medicine) At Uptown. The building houses nine tenant spaces, which will be leased to retail, technological and medical tenants.

A circa-2024 layout shows that abandoned Sears and Maas / Macy's stores have been knocked down. A new South Wing (light gray) houses Sprouts Farmers Market and a relocated Burlington. The long-term plan is for UNIVERSITY MALL to be converted from a standard shopping complex into UPTOWN, a "mixed-use urban development."
