The business center represents the conversion of a former upscale retail mall, completed in 1984, to office use.

Two other office tenants (one a bank and the other a high-tech firm) occupy what used to be the department store. A 407-room former Sheraton hotel is now the Marriott Southern Hills, a totally refurbished, full-service business hotel with 382 rooms and 43,000 square feet of meeting space. In addition to cosmetic changes, the hotel rooms have been reconfigured and wired to accommodate voice and data transmissions via modems, facsimile machines, and the Internet. The 183,000-square-foot office tower and 51,000-square-foot linear shopping center have remained largely unchanged since their openings 13 and 20 years ago, respectively.
