The mall primarily catered to office workers in Downtown Los Angeles. With the rapid growth of the area's population, however, the mall has started to reposition itself to better serve the needs of the residential community.

History

The mall opened on April 9, 1986 as Seventh Market Place, part of the new Citicorp Plaza development. The adjacent Citicorp Center office tower had opened the previous October. The mall's anchor stores were Bullock's and May Company. Both had closed their nearby standalone anchor stores to move to the new mall.

Bullocks closed in 1996. The May Company became Robinsons-May in 1993, then Macy's in 2006. It closed in 2009.[3] The mall was renamed 7+Fig in 2000.

In late 2010, Target announced a CityTarget store would open as part of a redesign of the mall by the Gensler architecture firm. The mall is owned by Brookfield Properties.[3] The mall reopened, following extensive renovations, as FIGat7th in Fall 2012.[3] In 2016, Sport Chalet closed due to bankruptcy. It was replaced by Nordstrom Rack in fall 2017.[4][5]
