Some features of the towers include:
 
- The Bubblemall Sky Gardens on the roof of the East Tower
 
- The Bubblemall Tranquil Gardens which is beside the East Tower
 
- A Dance Club on the top floor of the Southwest tower for events or parties

The entire complex took about 80 stacks of snow blocks, 71 stacks of wood planks, and 68 stacks of glass. The tower was designed by bubbleGuy192, and was built by players such as midgetpounder, [[TheXLMinecrafter]], [[Mixarium]], samwoot, [[luigiriot]], [[TBoneX07]], [[bluecrafter07]], [[salthepal128]], PlotyMinecraft, [[CalmCreeper360]] and others.
 
== Purpose and Legacy ==
Bubblemall was quickly constructed after New Bubbletown was founded, mainly to serve as a center for commerce and shopping, but also to attract builders to the city. Both objectives were met and were very successful during the early days of Map 11 and New Bubbletown. Bubblemall also was the foundation of the "vertical mall" style of architecture.
 
For some time, the Bubblemall complex (specifically the East Tower) held the record for the highest building on Puucraft, surpassing the build height by 1 block due to a glitch. However, the record was lost after the construction of the [[Puustaff BuildingTower]] located in the downtown district of Mesome. The Puustaff BuildingTower holds the record for the same reason, but the glitch was intentional on the Puustaff BuildingTower for the design of the antennas, while the East Tower was accidental during the construction of the Bubblemall Sky Gardens.
 
Today, Bubblemall is mostly vacant, containing only 2-3 tenants who rarely restock their shop. However, the complex still sees some players shopping, or players arriving from the train station, or coming to explore. Bubblemall, despite losing a majority of its tenants and value, is still an iconic and important piece in New Bubbletown and will remain a staple in the history of New Bubbletown and the impact of trade during Map 11.
 
== Problems and Assets ==
'''Problems:''' Problems arose almost immediately after construction began. The site needed to be big. Forests and hills were cleared. Outlines and perimeters for each building were marked. However, 4 towers occupied a lot of space and was an inefficient expense of materials and labor. Because of this, 3 towers were built. To go along with this, when the warp at Bubblemall was established, there was a glitch that caused players to start suffocating momentarily upon warping. This was resolved around a month later. Also, there were issues between players and groups such as the Railway Trade Union andas well as bubbleGuy192 who at this point, showed pride on the surface but behind the scenes was extremely disappointed with the result of Bubblemall.
 
While originally built in the center of the town, it is now considered to be located in the heart of the New Bubbletown "slums", a term used by players that describes the very dense, urban district that features a lot of buildings designed for economic purposes, yet remain empty or abandoned. Most of New Bubbletown’s activity has been focused toward the more developed and nicer uptown region, which today receives more player traffic.
'''Assets:''' When Bubblemall was first completed, Bubblemall consisted of 3 assets. 1 asset for each tower. During the early days of New Bubbletown, these assets were owned by bubbleGuy192, salthepal128, and TBoneX07. However, due to the corrupt power of the New Bubbletown Authority, these assets were in complete control of bubbleGuy192. However, after the New Bubbletown Authority was dissolved and bubbleGuy192 excluded from New Bubbletown, the assets of Bubblemall were shared between TBoneX07 and salthepal128. After the basement was added onto Bubblemall, the basement held 25% of these assets, and were owned by TBoneX07 and salthepal128.
 
Bubblemall had also influenced the creation of other skyscraper malls, also known as "vertical malls" as stated previously. However, most of, if not all of these malls are completely vacant, and one is permanently closed. This issue has affected the shopowners and mall owners, which has led to the vertical mall style of architecture being deemed as obsolete.<!--add hyperlinks to other people as you see fit-->
The idea with this system is that any drastic or important decisions must be first discussed with and approved of by all people involved.
 
However, on May 8th, 2022, TBoneX07 and salthepal128 were interested in splitting 25% of Bubblemall's assets and ownership with an investor. As the idea was finalized, Mixarium was interested in purchasing the tower, and a deal for $2,000 Puubux was met to purchase the Southwest Tower of Bubblemall. From that point on, and in current time, 75% of Bubblemall's assets are jointly owned between TBoneX07 and salthepal128, and 25% of Bubblemall's assets are owned by Mixarium, meaning 3 people are involved in major decision making and ownership of the site.<!--add hyperlinks to other people as you see fit-->
