Move over CrossIron Mills, there's a new massive mall in town.

The New Horizon Mall is an international themed mall that focuses on small shops rather than large department stores.

According to investor Moe Kharfan one of the unique things about the mall is the affordability of owning the stores.

"This is a major mall built in the region and it lets you be a part of that landscape for a very affordable price. You don't have to pay an exorbitant amount of money for rent to be a part of this mall."

One worry was the competition the mall would face in CrossIron Mills but investor and realtor Albert Fialkow believes in the dream.

"The traffic will come. I really believe in the Field of Dreams analogy, if you build it they will come... because people are curious. You're going to have the variety and the diversity in this mall that really doesn't exist anywhere else."

Developers have not nailed down a date for the grand opening but believe the mall should be ready sometime this summer.
