The 820,000 sq ft (76,200 m2)[2] development also housed Croydon's first and only dedicated indoor food court on the upper level.
The Food Gallery was given planning permission after the main centre was built and opened in November 2005 with seating for 200 diners.
As of 2013, the Food Court has no tenants, the units being boarded up, however until 2020 there was still pedestrian access to the first floor of Debenhams until that store closed.
The building has been designed to maximise the view of west Croydon from the eastern windows including the IKEA Towers landmarks on Purley Way.
The building also has solar panels on the roof according to a report which was highlighting Croydon's Ashburton Learning Village on 24dash.com.
It formerly housed Boots, French Connection, La Senza, Miss Selfridge, H Samuel, TKMaxx, Carphone Warehouse, and secondary anchor tenant Debenhams; in May 2020, Debenhams announced plans to enter administration as a result of the Coronavirus lockdown and that some stores, including the large multiple-storey Centrale store, would not reopen.
