Located next to the National Stadium, it served the crowds after major events there, and its popularity peaked in the 1990s. The mall began to lose popularity in 2002, when construction works for Stadium MRT commenced. Eventually, having seen businesses take a sharp decline, it was sold to Jack Investments in 2003.
