The building has been situated at its site since 1993.
From 2013 until its closure in 2018, Hong Kong Trams Station, a museum and gift shop focused on the history of Hong Kong Tramways, was located in the complex.[3]
In 2016, Hang Lung Properties began renovations and the restaurant Cafe Deco, which had been located in the mall for 22 years, closed.[4]
