The time required to tear down an old mall and build a new one can vary significantly based on several factors, including:

1. **Size and Condition of the Existing Mall**: A larger or more structurally complex mall may take longer to demolish.
2. **Permitting and Regulations**: Obtaining necessary permits, conducting environmental assessments, and adhering to local regulations can add to the timeline.
3. **Demolition Method**: The type of demolition (e.g., mechanical, implosion, deconstruction) can influence how long the teardown takes.
4. **Site Preparation**: After demolition, site preparation, including clearing debris and preparing the land, is needed before building can start.
5. **Design and Planning**: The time taken for the design phase and any changes can vary widely based on the intricacy of the new mall.
6. **Construction Time**: The construction of the new mall itself will depend on its size, complexity, and the materials used.

Typically, the entire process may take anywhere from 1 to 3 years, with demolition taking several months, and construction likely requiring an additional year or more. However, it can take longer if there are complexities or delays.
