Raffles City Reloaded

Fashion-forward shopping mall refines fashion mix and introduces sumptuous dining experiences in an exciting new shopping environment

Raffles City Shopping Centre ups the style stakes with a S$63 million revamp. The fashion-forward mall redefines retail therapy as the must-visit one-stop shopping paradise in Singapore for both tourists and locals alike.

The six-month revamp saw the construction of a 3-storey island podium block in place of the atrium formerly at Level 1. The mall’s atrium space has been relocated to Level 3 where events and promotions will now be hosted. This new podium also adds 41,000 sq ft of retail space, totaling a whopping 396,370 sq ft of titillating shopping within Raffles City Shopping Centre.

To further enhance the shopping experience, a striking 3-storey high water feature was integrated into the design of the podium, which has already become an iconic focal point for the mall.

Basement 1, also known as The Raffles Marketplace, has been extended, too. With additional 25,000 sq ft of space, augmented by 30%, it now boasts 116,174 sq ft of retail space.

“Raffles City Shopping Centre continues to play a very active and integral role in Singapore’s tourism scene by providing an attractive and innovative shopping environment. It is our vision to create a distinctive shopping mall that appeals to the mass public as well as fashion-forward Singaporeans. We are very proud to present the new Raffles City,” said Ms Teresa Teow, General Manager, Raffles City Singapore.

Underscoring the mall’s fashion-forward focus, Raffles City Shopping Centre has upped the ante by refining its tenant mix and bringing in hot new fashion brands to Singapore. What’s more, each level is thematically segregated to target a specific shopping demographic and help shoppers shop with ease.
