The shuttering of the BEL AIR Sears, in 2015, provided an opportunity for Belk to establish a new location at the mall. The vacated Sears was thoroughly renovated, with a new and improved Belk opening for business in October 2016.

Soon after the inauguration of the new Belk, stores began opening in a Streetscape that was installed along the north-facing facade of the mall. Sit-down restaurants, such as P.F. Chang's China Bistro, Baumhauser's Victory Grille and Texas de Brazil, served their first meals between February 2017 and August 2018.

Meanwhile, a new mall moniker -THE SHOPPES AT BEL AIR- had been bestowed in late 2016. Taking into account its new Streetscape, the shopping hub now covered approximately 1,345,000 leasable square feet and housed 103 stores, with an additional thirteen kiosks.
