The City Pride public house was formerly the only building on the site and closed in 2012.[3] Oracle Group purchased the freehold in 2007 for £6.75M and sold it to Glenkerrin for £32M in 2008.[4][5] Landmark North Ltd and UK Power Network Holdings purchased the site (and the associated Island Point site) from the administrators of Glenkerrin for £43M in 2011.[6]

In 2016, a development loan of £320m was agreed in order to continue with construction.[7]
