Most malls I've seen are one-story (rarely two), and given the natural cost-minimizing nature of their construction I doubt that you could just build more stories atop the existing structure (but I'd like for an engineer to chime in).

It's more likely you could turn the empty big box store (sears, circuit city) into a complex within itself. You need windows added, but generally speaking 3 outside walls for people to look out

I doubt they could do additions. They'd have to demo.
