 Construction began on the mall's northwest side for a new AME Church sanctuary, while Wilberforce University opened a branch inside the mall building, and Community Action Agencies offices opened in the former Elder-Beerman.The city of Cincinnati applied for a grant in 2010 to demolish the mall after AME Church was unable to do so.Under the church's ownership, the mall had continued to dwindle in tenancy and had not been renovated, to the point that it still had signage referring to it as Swifton Crossing.
