The article is well-written but short, especially considering its long history. I've tried researching some additional content you could add, and came up with the following:
More details on its history. This
Minnesota Historical Societybook may provide some useable information on the mall's (now closed) theater, for example. I also found
this article about its original completion by the Slawiks that might help (ah, I see you're using this already – but I think there is more that can be pulled from it). Also
this Harvard study?
More details about 1981 update (after tornado). What changed about its appearance?
Apparently the mall has inspired one
singer! Mention somewhere?
[2][3][4] I see he is currently in the See also section, but I wonder if it would be better to incorporate into the prose somewhere?
Split out the information about current tenants or occupants into a new section, which would allow you to expand that further. I looked at other architecture GAs for ideas and found
this,
this,
this, and
this. Possible sources to help expansion:
[5][6]
This article claims that the mall was done by architecture firm Fendler Patterson. Could you check that?
This
2008 article mentions "Representatives of the New York firm behind the $10 million to $12 million makeover of Har Mar Mall in Roseville". Could you look into what this makeover might have entailed?
"To compete with the opening of nearby Rosedale Center, it went through a significant expansion in 1971." Source?
News citations should use the =work parameter, as that allows the source to be italicized (such as Pioneer Press)
Dates should be American format (e.g. April 12, 2015 not 12 April 2015)
I realize it may be difficult to find additional information for some of my content suggestions above, but let me know what you think. Even a little further expansion would help the article tremendously. Placing review on hold, please reply here with any questions or comments. Thanks! Ruby2010/201317:00, 24 April 2016 (UTC)reply

Ruby2010: Well that's Minnesota-nice for you; I've seen other editors on here that strictly instruct the 7-day suggestion and rarely allow exceptions. Thanks for being understanding; I'm from St. Michael by the way–oh dontcha know?

Yeah, I don't usually see the need to impose a review deadline, as long as changes are made within a reasonable time period! It must be MN Nice after all (sometimes I think this site could benefit more from this outlook...!) —Warm regards from a Northfield native, Ruby2010/201302:06, 27 April 2016 (UTC)reply

Discrepancy with manager name in summary and sidebar
In the summary section on top, the manager is listed as Va(r)barton Services, but the sidebar has them listed as Va(n)barton Services LLC. Since so many webpages scrape Wikipedia for info, I'm having trouble verifying it from online sources, but I would assume it is Vanbarton with an N. Then they would share a name with the owner.
