The next major renovation of COLONIE CENTER commenced in November 2005, with a lifestyle-like Streetscape built onto the north-facing facade. The Cheesecake Factory welcomed its first diners in August 2006. Barnes & Noble Booksellers opened in November 2006. The Regal Colonie Center Stadium 13 made its debut in May 2008.

As the exterior Streetscape was being built, the mall's interior was also refurbished. In a circa-2008 view of the COLONIE CENTER concourse, we see a newly-installed 2-story fireplace.
