This renovation took advantage of new and emerging technologies "in materials, as well as architectural and decorative innovations"[3] The total cost of the renovation was reported as US$100 million.[1]
The mall's anchor stores include JCPenney, Macy's and Sears. Home to a 20-screen Regal Cinemas theater.[4] The mall is 1 million square feet (90,000 m²) and is owned by Simon Property Group.
[edit] Mall features
The Richmond Town Square Branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library opened in the mall in 1988.[5] Originally housed in a freestanding boutique kiosk, the branch showed significant circulation growth. The kiosk was forced to close in August 1998 due to a major renovation of the mall but the branch library reopened in September 1999 in a 1,200-square-foot (110 m2) location by the northeast mall entrance, next to Sears.[5]. The Cuyahoga County Public Library has now, as of 2009, relocated to a nearby business plaza, off of Wilson Mills Road.
