the first time other than on Christmas Day and Easter Sunday. Construction Rebranded from WestQuay in January 2017, Westquay has been constructed on the former site of the Pirelli Cable Works and the 1960s Arundel Towers development (two office tower blocks above a multi-storey car park) and it measures approximately ¼ of a mile from one end of the site to the other. Demolition of the previous buildings began in September 1997 and Westquay opened on 28 September 2000. The development crosses over three major roads: The 20 m support structure from the two-storey glazed retail link over Portland Terrace weighs 400 tonnes, and Western Esplanade, opened in 1900 to link the Royal Pier with the West (now Central) Railway Station, was cut in half by the centre. Harbour Parade is crossed by a footbridge to the adjacent multi-storey car park. It absorbs a 4½ metre change in ground level between east and west boundaries and the length of the mall from Above Bar to Harbour Parade is 400 m, and on top of the mall, The roof lights extend to around 350 m in length.

The tallest crane had a 66 m mast and a reach of 65 m. Southampton's nearby Geothermal Heat Station supplies heat and chilling facilities to the centre.

On 11 April 2013, it was announced that Hammerson had submitted the planning application to Southampton City Council, on which the council approved the outline planning application on 23 July 2013.

On 25 June 2014, the designs for phase one of the development were approved. With the new name of WestQuay Watermark, the building work for phase one began in January 2015, with the closing of the existing walkway and the demolition of the entrance ramp.
