[1] The center covers nearly 1,300,000 square feet (120,000 m2) of retail space on 130 acres (0.53 km2) of land that was once a landfill considered so toxic it was put on the U.S. E.P.A.

[2] There are two distinct areas for shopping and dining at the center: an outer ring of “Big Box” retailers, and the central area of smaller shops and eateries called “The District.”[4] In the center of The District is a large courtyard with a stage, where various local and national musical acts have performed free concerts, such as Borns, Power an 5000, Buckcherry, Pop Evil, The Struts, Dreamers (band), Jet (Australian band), Trapt, Drowning Pool, and many others.

There is also a large LED video screen which shows local sports teams and other special events to passersby.

[5] Many tall plants, shade structures, and misters help control the climate during the summers, and pedestrian walkways and other retail pads connect all areas.

The Harkins Theatre in The District is a 16-screen multiplex with 604 seats in its Cine Capri theater,[6] which was the host to the worldwide premieres of both X-Men Origins: Wolverine[7] and Only the Brave.
