Since the mid-1980s, the 210-acre HAMILTON PLACE plot has been extensively developed. The mall, itself, occupies 75.3 acres. An adjacent parcel was utilized for the HAMILTON CROSSING strip center, which opened, along with the mall, in August 1987. Its primary tenants were Service Merchandise, Toys "R" Us and T.J. Maxx.

An additional swatch was "improved" with HAMILTON CORNER. It was dedicated, in November 1990, with stores such as Goody's Family Clothing and Michaels.
