The warehouse building is a historic timber building known as "E" Shed that was constructed in 1929. In 1995 this shed was moved from its location alongside the river at Victoria Quay to vacant land behind B and C sheds. The shed was rotated 180 degrees in the process. Designed by Tarek Ibrahim and the construction work was done by Fini Group, including developing the building into a market.
