By 2008, RALEIGH MALL was on life support. In decline for several years, it had been bested by CROSSROADS MALL (1981) and the aforementioned CRANBERRY CREEK CENTER & BECKLEY GALLERIA (2005). By the time of this layout, the majority of store space in RALEIGH MALL was vacant.

A parting view of RALEIGH MALL. Its inline store section was knocked down in July 2011, leaving three anchor boxes -and two outparcels- standing.

Our third -and final- RALEIGH MALL plan depicts a new & improved (and completely demalled) shopping hub. Anchor structures held over from the old enclosed mall have been given new facades, with two freestanding restaurants, an a dental office, also being built. So, the complex is among those odd ball American shopping centers that are officially promoted as a mall, but are not a mall.
