The PLAZA was expanded with peripheral structures during the 1990s. A Lucky Stores supermarket, built on the far north end of the site, opened in 1991. The Magic Johnson Theatres Crenshaw 12, and an adjacent parking deck, were completed in 1995. By 1996, two anchor stores had been rebranded. May Company morphed into a Robinsons-May in 1993. The Broadway structure would house the mall's first Macy's between 1996 and 1999.

A face lift renovation was performed between 2010 and 2012. The cinema was gutted and rebuilt as the state-of-the-art Rave Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza 15 + Extreme, which showed first features in mid-2011. Anchor-wise, much has changed since the 1996 plan. The original Macy's re-opened as a Wal-Mart in 2003. Robinsons-May became the mall's second Macy's operation, in 2006.
The post-renovation shopping hub housed seventy-five retail spaces. Its new trademark dropped "Plaza" from the official mall moniker.
