In the typical big fish swallowing the small fish scenario, TALLAHASSEE MALL was usurped by GOVERNOR'S SQUARE. Built on the capital city's southeast side, this superregional complex opened in August 1979.

In 1979, NORTHWOOD MALL was persevering, although its original luster has faded considerably. Stores in operation in the mall included Arnold's Men's & Boy's Wear, Bath Boutique, CCA Electronics and The Sketch Box.

After several years of decline, NORTHWOOD MALL was repurposed as an office complex. Known as NORTHWOOD CENTRE, it was inaugurated in May 1989.

The office complex mall was only modestly successful. NORTHWOOD CENTRE was acquired by the City of Tallahassee and demolished in August 2021. A new police precinct was built.
