The existing building is split into two separate structures, known as the corner building and the main mall. The corner building was originally built around 1920s which housed Sports Direct for many years, which is independent to the rest of the building.

The designs incorporate a variety of sustainability measures, including:
- The use of heat pumps throughout, offering the opportunity to recycle waste heat.
- Re-use of the existing structure.
- Potential to use more sustainable materials such as timber to reduce the embodied carbon of the new structure.
