The complex is designed to assert a distinctive identity and meet the varied needs of its users. It includes an 8,000 m² covered esplanade, designed as a hub for exchanges and a space for a variety of events. The site also includes a restaurant accessible to both visitors and the general public.

The main level of the building is divided into four modular halls, while the mezzanine houses GL Events’ headquarters, a large public restaurant, and 24 multi-purpose rooms, including one of 750 m². The structure is distinguished by the use of sustainable and appropriate materials, offering an aesthetic of lightness and elegance despite its 700 linear metres of façade. The façade is clad in gold-coloured perforated metal mesh.
