The mall is part of an integrated development which includes a hotel and an office tower. The hotel is built above the mall and the office tower is built above Orchard Gateway@Emerald, another shopping mall located opposite Orchard Gateway. The hotel consists of 500 rooms and is linked to the office tower by a glass tubular overhead bridge.[3]

Developed on land previously occupied by Specialists' Shopping Centre and Phoenix Hotel, the mall with 180,000 square feet of retail space over 6 levels (including the 2 basement levels) houses both local and international lifestyle brands.
