The shopping mall is located in the heart of the Ruhr city Essen.

The interior of the shopping mall, designed by ECE architects, is bright and welcoming, with the main walkways flooded with light across each of the three and a half levels. All levels are easily accessible via escalators and lifts. Quiet areas with fountains, high-quality furniture and attractive plant arrangements encourage visitors to relax and unwind. 

The long store frontage alone is a special highlight, while the central element of this stylish, transparent building is the square thoroughfare with a rotunda at each corner.

There are also  entrance rotundas on all the parking decks, with approximately 2,000 spaces available on levels 2 to 5. Lifts and escalators takes shoppers back to their cars straight from the mall.
