Horizon Mall is a new open-air mall in the Horizon Hills area of Iskandar Puteri, a short drive from Legoland. You’ve probably seen the leafy, garden-style renders doing the rounds. The thing most of those posts leave out is that it hasn’t actually opened yet, and the date has kept slipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Horizon Mall is a 150,000 sq ft open-air mall by Gamuda Land<\/a>, built into its Horizon Hills township in Iskandar Puteri. It’s designed around greenery and natural light, with walkways open to the air rather than the usual sealed, air-conditioned layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    There’s tropical planting, water features, and a mix of covered and semi-open spaces across four floors. The developers point to malls like The LINC in KL and Elmina Lakeside as their reference points, so the idea is somewhere you’d sit with a coffee, not just run your errands and go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    On size, keep your expectations in check. 150,000 sq ft makes this a neighbourhood mall, built mainly for the 20,000-odd residents of Horizon Hills and the surrounding area. It’s a half-day stop at most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Short answer: not yet. As of June 2026, Horizon Mall still isn’t open, and the opening date has shifted more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The dates floating around don’t agree, and several sources are still quoting one that’s already passed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
