In 1974, the complex was being expanded with a fully-enclosed East Wing (in gray). This addition was done as a keeping-up measure with BEL AIR MALL, which was now located directly across the road. The SPRINGDALE PLAZA Montgomery Ward was built with 2 stories. The first was comprised of a 120,500 square foot sales floor. The second was a partial level devoted to storage and offices.

By 1989, a new McRae's and an expanded Gayfer's are connected with an enclosed West Wing (in gray). The gross leasable area of SPRINGDALE MALL now stands at around 926,000 square feet, with a compliment of eighty stores and services. The parking area has accommodations for 5,000 autos.

By 2002, the complex is known as simply SPRINGDALE. We see the beginnings of the mall's metamorphosis into a big box-based power center. Small inline store spaces in the South and East Wings have been gutted and reconfigured as large Barnes & Noble, Old Navy, Goody's, Staples and Linens 'n Things stores. The West Wing has been partially demolished and replaced by Best Buy.
