With a total floor area of 38,940 m2 (419,100 sq ft), the mall houses 120 stores, in which the catering industry accounts for 40%. The main core stores are Eslite Life, Toys R Us and various themed restaurants. The annual revenue target for the first year is NT$ 1.5 billion.

The overall space design of the mall is designed by a Japanese team, mainly composed of wood and planting.
