'''Orange Zone Expansion'''
=== Orange Zone Expansion ===
Faced with the increasing shortage of shop spaces at the mall, the mall will be expanded. A second floor will be added to the Orange Zone and a part of the carpark will be converted to shops. The project started on the 25th of September 2018 and completed on the same day. The expansion added 9 shop spaces and made a green roof accessible to the general public.

=== Phase 2 (N) ===
To increase the popularity of the mall and to reinforce it's position as a "do everything there" mall, the Phase 2 (N) expansion was launched on the 9th of January 2019. It involves extending the mall northwards of the current boundary at the supermarket. It involves building a cinema complex, additional green space and a hotel. On the 10th of March 2019 the second floor of the turquoise zone opened. As part of Phase 2 (N), the Roof Lawn was also expanded and a mid sized event/concert space named "FreeSpace" was added. The cinema project however was cancelled definitively in 2022 after having been suspended in as early as 2020.
