Interior of South Towne Center before remodel

The mall underwent the first phase of an interior and exterior remodel from 2015 to 2017, and was officially unveiled on February 14, 2017. Phase 2 is currently underway.[1] The redevelopment is part of Sandy's 1,100-acre (4,500,000 m2) city center development project, The Cairns.[2]

In early 2013, former management company Macerich announced that they put the mall up for sale and had several interested buyers.[3] It has since been purchased and, as of February 2017, is currently managed by Pacific Retail.[4]

In May 2017, it was announced that a Round One Entertainment location (now open) would be coming to the mall in August 2018 as part of the mall's ongoing renovation. Other renovations in the second phase of redevelopment include remodeling the former Dillard's space; extending the concourse to include Round 1, and HomeGoods along with other shops; remodeling an atrium and adding skylights; additional lounge seating, digital kiosks, and exterior glazing; and a new play area for children.[1] In October 2019, following the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of Forever 21, it was announced that the South Town location would close by the end of the year unless agreements were made with the landlord. The location closed the following January.

On January 6, 2021, it was announced that Macy's would also be closing in mid-2021 as part of a plan to close 46 stores nationwide.[5] After Macy's closes, JCPenney will be the only traditional anchor store left.
