Laguna Hills Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Laguna Hills, California, in Southern Orange County. Built in 1973 and renovated in 1994, the mall was originally anchored by four major department stores: The Broadway, Buffum's, JCPenney, and Sears.[1] In 1991, Buffum's closed and the store's second level was converted into an upstairs food court. The food court, which operated from 1994 to 2011,[2] was the only part of the general mall on the second level. The Broadway was converted into a Macy's in 1996. There is also a movie theater, the Laguna Hills Cinema.
In May 2013, Merlone Geier Partners purchased the property from Simon Property Group.[3] A year later, Merlone Geier purchased the Sears anchor store.[4] Renovations started in 2016.[5][6][7]
Re-branding
The Laguna Hills Mall is scheduled to be renamed "Five Lagunas". According to Laguna Hills' official city documents, the renovations include pedestrian plazas, new retail sections, a 988-unit apartment complex, a multi-screen movie theater, new signage, and a 1,500-space parking structure.[6][7] The first phase of construction is scheduled to be completed by 2018.[6][7]
