The renovation will integrate green and energy-saving materials for indoor upgrades, focusing on core visual elements such as escalators and multi-story LED screens to enhance spatial depth and technological aesthetics. Warm-tuned lighting in the west atrium and corridors will foster an open, relaxed urban ambiance, while public areas like restrooms and elevator lobbies will be comprehensively modernized. Newly added soft seating zones with ergonomic furniture emphasize user-centric design. Externally, the project retains the building's original structure while revitalizing its façade with updated curtain wall lighting and a nightlife-themed outdoor plaza to boost visual appeal and nighttime vitality.

Beijing Zhongguancun Link Plaza (formerly ECMall), which opened in September 2009, has positioned itself as a "Trendy Hive". It has distinguished itself through first-to-market stores, and hosted a cluster of debut stores, flagship outlets, latest concept stores, and refreshed brand spaces, collectively accounting for 20% of the total tenants. Notable examples include Pop Mart global flagship store "Pop Mart No.1", Nike, NB UCC (Beijing debut store), UR Creative Store (the brand's first regional concept store in Beijing), and Bagels NYC Bagel Museum (first Beijing location under the brand). In July 2025, the mall will welcome 24/7 FITNESS, a premium fitness brand making its Beijing debut.
