A circa-1995 plan shows the anchor orientation of a newly-expanded mall. Denver Dry Goods closed due to a merger with May D & F. Mervyn's assumed the store space. May D & F morphed into a Houston-based Foley's in 1993. A fourth anchor store (in gray) has just opened on the east side of the complex. With its completion, the mall covers around 1,390,000 leasable square feet.


THE CITADEL Dillard's welcomed first shoppers in August 1995. The store encompassed 3 shopping levels and 183,000 square feet.

In a cut-away view of the 3-tiered CITADEL complex, the original mall is indicated in light gray. It was situated on 2 levels. During the mid-'80s expansion, a third level was added. It was located below the lower level of the existing mall. In essence, a Mid-Level was the only floor that extended from one end of the structure to the other.
