The multi-level retail space includes fashion departments, furniture sections, dining options, a wine shop, and beauty services spread throughout the building.

The facade made of MATRIX granite, architectural concrete, and steel elements connects the building with neighboring structures through matching corner arches. This architectural solution creates a visual link with the older buildings along the street.
