Transformation plans for the former Laguna Hills Mall continues with a new name and new uses.
Mall owner Merlone Geier Partners, which bought the shopping center in 2013, said it has changed the property’s name to Village at Laguna Hills, from Five Lagunas, and has started the entitlement process on an updated master plan.
The updates envision the property into a mixed-use project with as much as 250,000 square feet of retail and as much as 390,000 to 520,000 square feet of office space, apartments and a 125-room hotel.
An opening date isn’t yet set.
