The first level of the old I. Magnin had been subdivided in the mid-'90s, with newer stores opening in 2008. As part of the mall's 2012-2013 refurbishment, a vacant Saks / Bloomingdale's Home building was sectioned into six inline spaces. Moreover, a portion of the middle floor of Sears was partitioned into PB Kids and West Elm stores.
In late 2016, a renovation of the northeast store block was completed. It installed The District at Oakbrook Center, an upscale food court, in Level 2 space. A new megaplex, the Oakbrook Center 12, was also built. Sears downsized into its basement floor and then closed for good in early 2019. Lord & Taylor also pulled up stakes at this time. By 2022, the Sears and L & T buildings had been divided into inline store spaces.
