The land where the mall stands today was once a large building complex, originally hosting the 1979 Pan American Games.

[4] Construction of the mall had been delayed for several years due to financing issues and a lawsuit by the owners of the adjacent Plaza Las Americas.

Later, New Century Development would file a counter lawsuit, when Plaza Las Americas announced their plans for an expansion.

The mall itself reopened just three months later, in June 2020, with limited initial capacity (as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and requiring face masks for anyone entering the premises.

On December 8, 2021, local TV station WLII-DT announced that they would be occupying one of the empty anchors for their new studio facilities, beginning in 2022.
