Ashfield Mall was acquired by Abacus Property Group in September 1997. Target closed its store in 2006 due to poor sales and Ashfield Mall underwent redevelopment which included the addition of a Woolworths supermarket & addition of specialty shops on the former Target store.

In 2013, Ashfield Mall underwent a redevelopment which included a new food court with a contemporary décor that included a sushi bar, enclosed eating area, brighter lighting and an Aldi store which opened on the space vacated by Franklins. This redevelopment was completed in August 2013.

Ashfield Mall underwent a redevelopment which featured the building of 101 apartments and refurbishment of the main entry into the shopping centre. Stage 2 redevelopment encompassed the additional building of 6,500m² of retail space and a childcare centre which opened in 2017, and the 67 serviced apartments known as "Ashfield Central", which opened in early 2018.
