The planning of the 5.7acre site began in 2004. The development began in March 2009 with the site being cleared of buildings. Before construction began, West Berkshire Council had to take several steps to compulsory purchase land for the development. In order for the centre to be joined to the existing streets, 35 and 36 Northbrook Street had to be knocked through.

The shopping centre is anchored by a 77,508 sq ft Debenhams department store, which is three times the size of the previous store in the town. It is also anchored by an extended Marks & Spencer department store. The shopping centre houses approximately 50 stores, cafes and restaurants.
