Since its opening in 1991, Limketkai Mall has been under constant renovation and expansion, in order to compete with the national retailers such as SM and Ayala that expand their businesses in the city. In 2003, the mall made its general renovation in response to the newly-built SM City Cagayan de Oro (now SM City CDO Uptown). The mostly one-storey, open-air shopping center was converted into a two-storey, fully air-conditioned mall. The renovated main mall was connected then to Robinsons Big R (now Robinsons Cagayan de Oro) for the convenience of shoppers crossing between the two malls. Most recent expansions include the east concourse Wing, which houses high-end fashion and lifestyle shops. Connecting the east concourse wing is a value-hypermarket, Shopwise, which has an indoor automated car park on its first level offering 500 slots. The green lane, which surrounds the atrium, is a new expansion for high-end shops connecting the east and south concourses. The new glass-clad promenade was built directly above the south promenade and is lined with trees and plants, and is targeted as an upscale greenbelt corner. The Limketkai skywalk connects the main mall to other buildings of the complex, such as the newly renovated and expanded Rosario Strip, Limketkai Luxe Hotel, Gateway Tower, and Gateway Park. A four-storey building with leasable space and two basements serving as parking spaces known as Limketkai Mall Module-2 BPO & Cyberpark started construction in 2016. This building expansion will be connected then to the mall's north concourse. Another multilevel building, now called AllHome, is said to rise soon at the mall's parking D area between Shell's gasoline station and the loop showroom. This building will be connected to the mall's south concourse.Incidents and controversies

Since 2009, concerns have been raised from several church groups and organizations after a casino was planned to open inside the mall complex. The casino would be operated under Diamond Millenium Corporation, represented by Lorenzo U. Limketkai, and have a PAGCOR e-Games Station. It would be placed inside the Lifestyle Podium next to the Limketkai Luxe Hotel, which is currently under construction and was set to open in January 2018. The Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro expressed their opposition to this proposal, saying that the chapel could be removed and Mass would no longer be celebrated if the plan were to go ahead. The Committee on Trade and Commerce of the city's local government is yet to review the proposal.Gallery
