Surrounded by downtown and its diversity, Horton Plaza's neighbors include San Diego's popular bar and club area known as the Gaslamp Quarter as well as some adult theaters a mere block away.
Horton Plaza was created to change the CBD and bring it back to life. It was designed by Ernest Hahn, the famous mall developer. The 900,000 square foot plaza opened in 1985. It's a shopping mall with an open center court and four levels of stores anchored by Nordstrom, Macy's, and Mervyns. Horton Plaza also includes a 14-screen United Artists movie theater.
Several original buildings were utilized for their facades and new ones were built for the seven-square-block plaza. This makes the mall appear to have been built over time, instead of the few years it took to create a mall composed of "49 colors, unique architecture, and an amusement park atmosphere"
