The mall features stone columns, marble floors and large skylights all incorporated in a modern contemporary design.

Large photographic murals of the Grand Canyon, Sedona and Arizona's Sonoran Desert are displayed on walls at the ends of each wing as well as certain outdoor entrances to the mall.

Adjacent to the food court entrance of the mall is an outdoor entertainment and dining plaza called The Village.

The entertainment and dining options at The Village include the Harkins Theatres, Escape the Room, and Buffalo Wild Wings.

The mall opened on October 19, 2001 with 229 stores and five anchors (Arizona's second Nordstrom, Sears, Dillard's, Robinsons-May and Harkins Theatres).

[4] Sears announced in October 2018 that it would shutter as part of an ongoing decision to eliminate its traditional brick-and-mortar format.
