In 1994, the company became a public company via an initial public offering.[3]
In 2002, Macerich acquired Phoenix, Arizona-based Westcor for $1.475 billion. The purchase added 9 properties to Macerich's portfolio making them the largest mall owner in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area.[4]

On April 1, 2015, the company rejected a $16.8 billion takeover offer from Simon Property Group, claiming that the offer undervalued the company. Simon withdrew the offer.[7][8]
