AMC Theater in City of Industry Mall Faces Redevelopment Proposal
What happened
An AMC movie theater is located within the Puente Hills Mall in the City of Industry. The mall, which contains the theater and Round1, has experienced declining retail activity. A proposal has been submitted to redevelop the property into an industrial complex, which would include two warehouses, a bus transit station, and a 10-megawatt data center. The data center remains a proposal and has not been approved or built.

Why it matters
The Puente Hills Mall was acquired in 2024 for a reported $115 million. Despite its connection to the film *Back to the Future*, the site has seen dwindling footfall. The proposed conversion from retail space to industrial use could significantly alter the property's commercial viability.
