In January 1997, the Sheridan Group was awarded a contract to develop and operate the complex.

[1] The leaseholder was the Northern Ireland Local Government Officers' Superannuation Committee (Nilgosc).

[4] Sheridan subsequently launched a legal challenge against Nilgosc and the council discussed purchasing the building, but decided it was too expensive.

[2] In early 2010, the council purchased the building for around £7 million, approximately half the cost it would have been previously.

[14] On 31 July 2019, a crazy golf course called Smuggler's Cove opened on the site.
