Unfortunately, we were only here for a short visit, but it sure made quite an impact on us. There's a great variety of dining options available in the eatery on the lower level.

Very modern looking mall utilizing a lot of natural light. Looks amazing to be quite honest. Well laid out and plenty of room to walk about. Some nice shops and great food in the lower level.
