In 2009, General Growth Properties, a Chicago-based real estate holding company, owned approximately 200 shopping centers in 44 states. Overwhelmed by debt, General Properties filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on 04/16/2009. This move caused insecurity in the shopping mall business as General Properties owned the second most number of facilities in the country. This concern also owned Pioneer Place in Downtown, Portland, OR.

The 1970s was a time of demolition in Glendale, CA, with old residences being replaced by higher density multi-family apartments and low-rise commercial buildings being torn down in favor of taller properties in the downtown core.
