WINROCK CENTER began to falter in the late 1990s. Its downturn was caused by competition from the too-close-for-comfort CORONADO CENTER and ABQ UPTOWN lifestyle center. By the early 2000s, less than ten WINROCK stores were still open. This aerial view shows the mall as it stood before a massive redevelopment began in 2012.

A pre-demolition snapshot of the old White Winrock Motor Hotel shows some of its early '60s Mid-Century Modern details. Obviously, the motel's exterior was never remodeled. This structure became the first mall section to fall to a wrecking ball, in May 2012.

In another pre-bulldozer view, we see the interior of the deserted mall and a decorative frieze; once a fixture of the original (open-air) West Court. The panel was created by Gregory LaChapelle.

The moribund mall was redeveloped in stages. Structures that were retained are surrounded in blue. There was talk of two Dillard's being consolidated into a newly-built store, but this plan was apparently abandoned. Meanwhile, the motel was replaced by Nordstrom Rack, DSW and Ulta Beauty. The old Wards now houses T.J. Maxx, David's Bridal and Skechers Shoes.
