The shopping centre was built in 1993, and has a net lettable retail floor area of 110,000 square feet. It features Fuji Ice Palace, one of the only two ice rinks in Singapore, a shopping centre, restaurants, an amusement arcade and a bowling alley. In 2000, it was converted into a cineplex, with a total of six screens, operated by the Shaw Organisation.
