THE CITADEL prospered, as the only shopping mall in its trade area, for nearly 10 years. This came to an end in 1982, with the completion of CHAPEL HILLS MALL.

A keeping up with CHAPEL HILLS renovation of THE CITADEL was completed in 1984. The original T-shaped shopping center was enlarged with an extended West Wing and May D & F department store. Colorado Springs' original shopping mall now spanned approximately 910,700 leasable square feet.
