I went here for the very first time on a Sunday in July two hours after opening. I wasn't in a rush to check this place out because from their website, it didn't seem big at all. When it comes to malls, usually bigger is better, especially if it's a modern, upscale mall, which I enjoy because the variety of shops will be there, but I was really, really disappointed with this place. The Inland Center Mall and Moreno Valley Mall in San Bernardino and Moreno Valley are better than this and I probably won't ever return to those.
I was trying to look up when they opened, but there are only about 10 stores and none are unique at all. That explains the small volume of people, which I personally like, but now I see why. Everyone's over at the Del Amo Mall, South Bay Galleria, probably the Topanga Mall, and probably The Pointe and Pacific City. Pacific City is a tad more interesting than this place and at least you have the beach right across the street.
The construction and style is quite nice, open, and airy, and it's serene, which is what the score of 1 is for. That was the only good thing about this place. I entered on one end through the Macy's men's store and it took about 10 minutes to walk through to the other Macy's on the other end. I have all these stores at the mall in my area 15 minutes away, so no need for me to drive an hour for this. Their Sephora is small and one of the worst I've seen too.
This seems like a fairly new place. I would hope they're constructing more additions and fortunately, they are. It seems the rest won't be ready until 2019 & 2020. I'll return in 2020. Hopefully, they don't go out of business before the rest is built.
