[6] The foundation stone on the development was laid by the deputy Prime Minister of Bahrain Shaikh Khalid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa in September 2014.

[8] Centred around a family-friendly environment and hoping to boost family tourism to Bahrain, the 273,000 m2 (2,940,000 sq ft) development will feature numerous playgrounds, outdoor jogging tracks and a gym, waterfront restaurants, cafes, arcades, a souq and cinemas.

It has been a popular location in recent times [4] The mall also features a water taxi service that transports passengers to and from the development, from various jetties around Bahrain.
