The site is located on the eastern edge along the riverfront, in the area demarcated for the fair and market precinct between Ellis bridge and Sardar bridge. The site has been broadly divided into three parts to accommodate a commercial complex, an exhibition centre and a service building. The two-story exhibition center includes three auditoriums of varying capacities, three exhibition halls, and galleries. It includes parking facilities for 950 cars approximately.
The façade that looks onto the river is porous with vertical shading systems and semi-open areas, making the space dynamic for pedestrian traffic movement. The rear of the building is allotted with support facilities that include loading/ unloading decks while it also overlooks the riverfront market. A clear demarcation has been maintained between the two programs with the main road dividing the two sites. There is also a clear level difference of 3.5 meters with the exhibition centre occupying the upper level.
