Designers Fearon Hay worked with owners Wilshire Group to restore the building in keeping with its fashion heritage and strengthen the connection between Queen and Lorne Street, enabled by the double street frontages of this site.

The Queen Street ground floor is occupied by one major retailer, with level two activated by an open and collective space with adjoining food and beverage tenancies, with street-level access from Lorne Street.
