A central elevator at Westfield Montgomery Mall is undergoing a complete overhaul. As you can tell from the photos below, this is not simply an emergency repair. Nearly every major component is apparently being replaced.
The mall is directing patrons to use the elevator by Sears during the closure.
This is yet another example of Westfield investing in the mall's future. From elevators to the movie theater to the food court to the Transit Center, a tremendous financial investment is being put into improving and expanding the mall. It's an example other mall operators across the country should adopt. Malls are still viable, and will continue to thrive in the future, when management shows pride in the facility like this, and puts the customer experience first.
By the way, parking lots at Westfield Montgomery Mall were full of cars yesterday. So much for the "malls are outdated" fad.

The "malls are outdated" thing is true though. You won't see ALL of them die; instead, you're seeing mall development being consolidated into a few specific malls. Montgomery Mall is, like you said, doing well to absorb the demand from some of the other closing malls in the area.
