History
Originally known as "Glasshouse on the Mall" the shopping centre featured a number of specialty stores on four floors and a food court on the ground floor.
Redevelopment
In 2014, Stockland and Investa Commercial Property Fund, drew up plans for a $30 million redevelopment with H&M as the anchor tenant. As part of the redevelopment, the historic facade of the building that was retained, but the entire interior of what was an L-shaped arcade between King and Pitt Streets was demolished and transformed.[4]
H&M opened its store on 31 October 2015 followed by the opening of Zara Home in December 2015.[5][6][7]
