Designed by architects Benoy,[5] the centre officially opened in 2012 and was developed by Hong Kong–based Swire Properties and Sino-Ocean Group. The retail mall is approximately 940,000 sq ft (87,000 sqm) and features an outdoor park and a large indoor children's playground which is situated under a large glass roof. Large scale installations for Christmas and Chinese New Year are often installed here and are popular among local and expatriate families with young children[6][7] In 2018, Indigo ran a NASA Neighborhood Earth experience in the outdoor park.[8]

The hotel EAST, Beijing opened in late September 2012 and features paperless check-in as well as panoramic views.[9]
