JCPenney left the mall for a new Lifestyle Center, Village at Sandhill ten miles (16 km) away in 2007. On June 6, 2017, Sears announced that they would be closing as part of a plan to close 72 stores nationwide. The store closed in September 2017. The malls current only anchor store is Macy's. It is home to the only Macy's location in more than a 50-mile radius, which helps solidify the mall's presence and position in the market.

The road that loops the mall's parking lot is known as Columbia Mall Blvd and is the address for many outlying businesses including McDonald's, Party City, and Virginia College.

Columbia Place was built by Kahn Development Company and the Richard E. Jacobs Group and was purchased by CBL and Associates Properties in 2001. For a period of time the mall was leased and managed by Spinoso Real Estate Group of North Syracuse, New York after being lost by owner CBL and Associates Properties in a foreclosure action. CBL and Associates Properties also lost their former Citadel Mall property in Charleston, South Carolina in 2013 after foreclosure.

On October 31, 2014, Las Vegas real estate investor, Moonbeam Capital Investments acquired Columbia Place Mall.
