The City Pride public house was formerly the only building on the site and closed in 2012.[7] Oracle Group purchased the freehold in 2007 for £6.75 million and sold it to Glenkerrin for £32 million in 2008.[8][9] Landmark North Ltd and UK Power Network Holdings purchased the site (and the associated Island Point site) from the administrators of Glenkerrin for £43 million in 2011.[10]

In 2016, a development loan of £320 million was agreed in order to continue with construction.[11]
