Tenant Mix Flexibility in size and adaptability of tenancies is key to ensure the continued evolution of the retail mix . This is achieved through a new large span first floor coffer deck and reinforced concrete columns . This affords two major anchor tenants , one with primary access from the first-floor deck and the other on the ground floor with primary access off Main Road . These are supported by a variety of smaller retail offerings including food and beverage outlets as well as two fast food drive-thru ’ s as out buildings on the site .
