There was a large clock tower at the centre of the mall, though this was replaced with a glass sphere during the (CAD) $100 million redevelopment.

There was also an older plaza located on mall grounds (which was previously a Loblaws grocery store opened in 1992) which consisted of Dollarama, HomeSense, Menchies, and also a salon.

Other renovations would include elevating the skylights and replacing them with modern clerestory windows, new LED lighting, new European limestone flooring and a new main entrance.
