The original BURWOOD SHOPPINGTOWN was built around the Hoyts Astor Theatre, a circa-1934 movie palace. As part of the mall's construction, the Art Deco ediface was given a new ultra-modern facade and renamed the Hoyts Burwood Theatre.

The focal point of the mall's Fashion Court was its Air Fountain, which used jets of air to juggle several metallic balls.
