HIGHLAND MALL was given its most recent renovation in the mid-1980s. This project, a keeping-up with BARTON CREEK SQUARE measure, would fail to keep HIGHLAND from being outpositioned by its newer and larger rival.

The Food Court, a 17-bay culinary complex, was installed in existing Upper Level space in 1984. Its pyramidal skylight was similar to those used in other Rouse Company developments, such as MALL IN COLUMBIA {Maryland} and HULEN MALL {Fort Worth}.

In better days, the mall's double-decked shopping concourse included Zales Jewelers, B. Dalton Bookseller, Radio Shack and Underground Station.

HIGHLAND MALL, circa-2008. Now Penney-less, the complex will soon loose its remaining anchor stores. Dillard's Men's will fold in May 2009, with Macy's following suit in March 2011. The remaining Dillard's, converted to a Clearance Center, would go dark in May 2011. The mall would formally close in April 2015, ending over 43 years of commerce.
