History

In 2010, its size was increased by 11,000 m² (120,000 sq ft) (25 shops) with a new zone named Cours Oxygène and built at the same time as the Tour Oxygène.

From 2017 to 2023, the complete shopping mall was in renovation, including the creation of new bigger entrances, the renovation of the outside appearance, and an extension of 32,000 m² (340,000 sq ft) on the new west part, which was until 2016 a four-level car park. This new zone of the shopping center hosts the new relocated UGC cinemas, 40 new shops, and 24 new restaurants in a zone named The Dining Experience. ^[1]
