In 1994 Woolworths Limited purchased two-thirds of the former Sunshine Harvester Works site for $10 million, and submitted plans to build a $70 million shopping complex containing a Big W department store, Safeway supermarket, cinemas, and around 50 shops. Sunshine Marketplace opened in 1997 and a major redevelopment program was undertaken in 2004. The redevelopment included a new 300 seat Diners Life precinct, refurbishment of the inner and outer facades, additional stores inside and the Village Cinemas Megaplex which includes the only Intencity Gaming Complex in Melbourne's West.

On 30 January 2016 during a violent storm, the roof of the Village Cinema area began to collapse to due the heavy rain and winds.
