Facilities
ShopVille includes around 190 shops, restaurants, services and a non-denominational church.[3] The floor area was extended with the construction of the Löwenstrasse subterranean railway station, which opened in 2014.
The development is connected to the surface level and undergraound railway stations by stairs, escalators and elevators. Direct access exists, among others, to Bahnhofstrasse, Bahnhofplatz, Bahnhofquai, Museumstrasse, Swiss National Museum, and the main hall in the railway station building.
The fountain, which comprises part of the statue of Alfred Escher in Bahnhofplatz, connects to ShopVille's Züri Fountain, 4.7 metres (15 ft) below ground.[4]
