The shopping centre opened on 1 April 1999 and has a floor area of 46,000 square metres (500,000 sq ft). The landlords claimed in December 2004 that daily pedestrian traffic at the mall is 170,000.[1]
MTR expanded the shopping centre onto the site of the Tsing Yi lorry park.[2] Some opposed the plan because it blocks the already crowded skyline. The MTR broke ground on the $2.4 billion project in 2015, and work was completed in 2017.[2]
