The center features two anchor stores, which include Belk and Kroger, a park, and two luxury apartment buildings.

The original mall opened in April 1988 under the development of Jim Wilson & Associates,[1] with Jordan Marsh and Belk as its anchor stores.

Stores like Crabtree & Evelyn, Brooks Brothers, PacSun, Waldenbooks, Ann Taylor, and Williams Sonoma were all lost by the end of the decade.

In 2008, representatives of then-owner Petrie Ross announced plans to add a movie theater, but this was canceled because the company could not secure money to build one.

In March 2015, construction began on WaterWalk at Shelter Cove, two apartment buildings along Broad Creek.
