It is located near the metro station of the same name, between the streets U Kunratického lesa, Roztylská and the D1 motorway towards Brno.

On 12 July 1971 the D1 motorway was completed and on 7 November 1980 the Budovatelů metro station (today Chodov) was opened, and a new bus terminal was built there.

The construction ran according to schedule, but aggravated the surrounding environment with increased noise, dirt, and dust, with work often continuing overnight.

Another problem was the re-routing of pedestrian walkways in the vicinity, which extended the journeys of residents to the metro and for shopping.

The project also included a total reconstruction of parts of U Kunratického lesa, Roztylská, Pod Chodov and Brněnská (D1 motorway), which mostly meant repair of road surfaces and preparation of branches for planned parking space.

The old shelters and backgrounds from the 1980s were gradually dismantled and replaced with new exits, which were integrated with the main pavements being redesigned as part of the construction of the shopping center.

Large numbers of shoppers went to the center from early in the morning to buy goods in the various promotional offers.

In the second half of 2014, new office space was built, which subsequently housed Unibail-Rodamco's Czech Republic headquarters.

In 2017 Westfield Chodov won the "Best of Realty" competition in the category of shopping malls in the Czech Republic.

The southern section of the center features a "turret", which extends into three floors and darkens in the dark.

Close to the hypermarket on floor -2 is a glass chandelier by artist Bořek Šípek, entitled Reversed Tree, from Skláren Nový Bor in the past.

[citation needed] Retailers with branches in the shopping center include Tommy Hilfiger, H&M, Zara, Promod, Swarovski, Sephora, MAC, Crabtree & Evelyn, Nike, and Foot Locker.

Before the reconstruction of 2017, this zone was located on the first floor of the northern part of the building overlooking the D1 and old Chodov.
