IOI Mall Puchong was opened in 1996. It was built to serve the residents of Puchong which numbers were small back then. The Old Wing of the mall was managed by Jusco, a subsidiary of ÆON, before it was renamed ÆON in March 2012. A new wing expansion opened in 2009. This resulted in new tenants like Padini Concept Store and Brands Outlet.

The mall was constructed with Spanish and Colonial architectural influences. In December 2017, renovation works began at the mall in which parts of the mall were each upgraded to a modern architectural style and all main lighting fixtures were changed to LED lighting. Celebrity Fitness was moved to the second floor in the new wing and Padini and Uniqlo went to the Ground Floor. It also included a new food estreat on the first floor with shops like A&W and Go Noodle House. Parts of the mall have reopened, with full completion opened by the end of 2018. In 2019, the old area of Ampang Superbowl has been turned into a digital hub with Sports Direct and Reka Play Gym. In 2020, the old Factory Outlet Store (F.O.S) became the Hai Di Lao Hotpot.
