So looks like while all the stalls/stores are sold, the purchasers are not people wanting to operate stores, but rather are now themselves looking for others to lease from them. The result is only 9 shops open out of over 500.
Perhaps the Christmas season will turn it around.

A trip to the New Horizon Mall makes for a lonely, if not slightly post-apocalyptic, experience.
The mammoth mall was billed as a modern, international bazaar with an Asian flavour, opening quietly this summer just outside Calgary, south of the CrossIron Mills megamall.
But of its 517 retail units, only nine — less than 2% — are currently occupied and open for business, despite the mall being open since June.
