The mall is located on Sepulveda Boulevard beside the San Diego Freeway (Interstate 405), one of the major freeways in Los Angeles with over 297,000 motorists passing daily. History The Promenade at Howard Hughes Center was developed by jH Snyder Company, and opened in 2000. It originally featured The Bridge Cinema De Lux, a luxury movie theater with IMAX screens, several restaurants including Islands, Johnny Rockets, Ben & Jerry's, On The Border, Subway and Starbucks, plus a Nordstrom Rack, and Borders. The movie theater was eventually purchased by Rave Cinemas and operated under the Rave banner until the theater was one of the 32 locations that was purchased by Cinemark in 2012, but the theater still retained Rave logo until 2015 when it was renovated to be one of Cinemark's flagship theaters, featuring 18 screens, some featuring Cinemark XD and D-Box seats.
