The mall was under construction in 2013 and the opening of the mall was initially planned in the fourth quarter of 2013.[1] By July 2013, painting works for the mall's interior and exterior including its roof were effectively complete with some finishing touches to be done. The elevators were installed and functional and tiles were installed in common areas of the mall. In June, the lease spaces were turned over for tenants for fit-out works[2] and completed fit-out works and finishing by January 2014.

Heat is minimized by the architectural design of the mall. The exterior of the Century City Mall was painted white to minimize the heat absorbed by the walls and roof and the Exterior Insulation Finishing System is used as the façade material to minimize absorption of heat by the mall's units, which in turn reduces the energy needed by the air conditioning. For the glassworks, tinted horizontal glass sheets were installed to reflect sunlight and minimize the heat entering the building as part of the designer's efforts to improve comfort to people inside the mall.[5]
On the mall's roof garden situated on the fourth floor, natural ventilation and vegetation were installed to reduce temperature and filter the air inside the building. Through a series of sky lights, natural light that passes inside the mall are filtered through all levels. In order to minimize water consumption, waterless urinals are installed inside the mall's restrooms.[5]
