The scale is enormous spanning 6 areas, and is one of Europe's largest retail and leisure destinations in a city centre. The complex is owned by the Chester based Duke of Westminster's company Grosvenor, which also owns the whole of London's Mayfair and Belgravia.
The complex acts as a corridor between the Liverpool Albert Dock waterfront and the city centre.
Merseyrail serves the complex from Liverpool Central Station and James Street station.
