Since its opening in 2006, Queensbay Mall has become one of the major retail centres in Penang, competing directly against more established shopping malls within the state like Gurney Plaza. Notably, both Queensbay Mall and Gurney Plaza are managed by CapitaMalls Asia, a subsidiary of the Singapore-based CapitaLand.{{Cite web|title=CapitaMalls Asia to acquire Queensbay Mall in Penang|url=https://www.edgeprop.my/content/capitamalls-asia-acquire-queensbay-mall-penang|access-date=9 September 2017|website=www.edgeprop.my|language=en}}

The location of Queensbay Mall was previously an abandoned site of the Bayan Bay Mall Project. It was developed by Bayan Bay Development Sdn Bhd, a joint venture 70% owned by Anson Perdana Bhd and 30% by Penang Development Corporation. When Anson Perdana Bhd fell into financial distress in 1998 following the 1997 Asian financial crisis and became defunct, the project was only 60% completed. CP Group led by executive chairman Tan Chew Piau intervened in 2003 and revived the project in June 2005, which got its present name.{{cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2005/10/07/cp-revived-mall-to-bring-in-rm42mil-sales|title=CP: Revived mall to bring in RM42mil sales|date=7 October 2005|access-date=12 March 2023|agency=The Star (Malaysia)}}{{cite web|url=https://www.hba.org.my/articles/salleh_buang/2008/of_queensbay.htm|title=Of Queensbay and foreshore|date=21 October 2008}}
