By the early 1970s, LENOX SQUARE was falling behind several newer -and fully-enclosed- malls in its trade area. In June 1972, work commenced on a renovation to enclose and air-condition the Mall Level of the complex. Work was winding down by November 1972, when this ad appeared in the local newspaper.

Along with the mall enclosure project came a third anchor department store. Dallas' trendy Neiman Marcus anchored a new Skylight Mall wing. The store was dedicated in August 1972.

The roofing renovation and expansion was formally dedicated in January 1973. On this physical layout, the new Skylight Mall appears in medium gray. The previously open-air Mall Level concourse is now known as the Garden Mall. With these improvements, LENOX SQUARE encompasses approximately 1.1 million leasable square feet, with ninety-three stores under its roof.
