History

This property was originally built in 1979, and was known as Monroe Mall. The mall was renovated in 2001, and then was acquired by Madison Marquette in December 2005. Since acquiring Monroe Crossing, Madison Marquette has improved the mall aesthetically and with more aggressive leasing practices. Monroe Crossing was renovated again in 2009; some of the improvements included: new floors, signage, tenants, furniture and seating areas.[4] In December 2014, Madison Marquette successfully sold Monroe Crossing to Time Equities, Inc, a real estate investment firm based in New York.

Its largest anchor department store, Belk, expanded its location at Monroe Crossing from 65,000 square feet to 95,000 square feet in March 2008 in a $5.8 million expansion.[5] Belk's brand offerings increased with the expansion to include brands such as Michael Kors, Karen Kane, and Ralph Lauren.[2]

Sears closed in June 2017,[6] and JCPenney closed on July 31, 2017.[7] In August 2018, Roses opened in the former JCPenney.
