For its first 10 years, CUMBERLAND was one of the preeminent malls in Greater Atlanta. It took a direct hit from TOWN CENTER AT COBB in 1986. As a keeping up measure, an interior refurbishment was performed in 1989. The quirky '70s Mod interior was smeared over with gaudy Post Modern decor. A new logo was also commissioned.

By the 21st century, CUMBERLAND MALL was in another downward spiral. It was time for another mall mall makeover. A 65 million dollar remodeling was planned. Above, we see a refashioned Center Court, where "every interior tactile surface (will have been) touched with contemporary warmth."

As part of the renovation, a 77,000 square foot "Lifestyle Village" would be built in place of an abandoned (and demolished) department store. Open-air in format, it would house nine sit-down restaurants and retail stores.
