We zoom through time to the year 2008. Neiman Marcus joined the mall in September 1998. Penney's pulled out in January 2003. A newly-built Mauka Wing (in dark gray) was dedicated in March 2008. With its completion, the center's gross leasable area had been expanded to approximately 2,100,000 square feet. The vast parking facilities could now accommodate 9,000 autos.

 

 

By 2008, the mall's Street Level has been substantially rebuilt, with a single Truck Concourse divided in half. A large food court -the Makai Market- was installed in the late 1980s.   

The ALA MOANA mall commemorated its 50th Anniversary in August 2009. At this time, there were 290 stores and services with eleven original tenants still in business.
