The station was constructed during the summer of 2001 and officially opened on October 8, 2001.
It was the first public railway station whose construction was entirely funded by a private enterprise (the adjacent shopping mall).
Until December 2019 access to the Coastal Railway's passenger platforms was only possible through the mall's second floor, where a small station structure exists (access to the Jezreel Valley railway platform, completed in 2018, was only possible through the bus station).
A bridge connects the mall's second floor with the Coastal Railway's platforms on ground level just west of it.
However, in December 2019 access to the railway platforms was also made possible directly from the main building of the Haifa Bay central bus station which is located just west of the mall.
As such, the entire complex serves as a major public transportation interchange hub serving the region.
The mall and bus station also have a separate pedestrian bridge completed in 2018 which allows access between them to non-ticketed passengers.

During the 2006 Lebanon War train service to the station was suspended after a Hezbollah Katyusha rocket hit a train depot in Haifa on July 16, 2006, killing eight Israel Railways workers.
It was restored 29 days later, on August 14, two days after the ceasefire went into effect.
