    Katong Mall gets facelift

    $60m makeover will give old mall a cinema, mix of F&B outlets and upmarket brands

    THE 20-year-old Katong Mall in East Coast Road will undergo a $60 million facelift.

    When it reopens in the third quarter of next year, the mall will have about 150 shops including a cinema, retail outlets as well as a myriad of food and beverage (F&B) outlets, pubs and bars.

    The current five-storey building will have an additional floor built at the top to house a Golden Village cineplex.

    There will also be an additional basement level to ease the building's parking squeeze. The extra level will boost the maximum capacity of its carpark to 310 spaces, from the current 179.

    The mall will also have a Peranakan-themed concept to fit the neighbourhood, which has historically been a Peranakan enclave in Singapore. The management said it will also consider bringing in tenants that tie in with the theme, such as Peranakan restaurants.

    The new look for Katong Mall is the developer's overall plan to jazz up the building to appeal to the affluent working professionals living in the area.

    wah all so fierce.

    Btw, is there any place I can find out if there are future plans to facelift/refurbish a certain shopping centre? I've read Bukit Timah Plaza had plans from BT, but can't seem to find any news about it anywhere else.

    Katong mall was said to be for sale and redevelopment... new facelift would mean no done deals...

    The old mall quite nice what! It has organically developed into an education hub - a bit chaotic but rather charming. I never get it here. Surely property value is NOT the only thing people care about? If someone wants to build a typical shopping mall with the standard shops like G2000 opposite my house, I will protest..... seriously. I don't think an area should be overly-engineered with "high-end" or "Peranakan" shops. These cookie-cutter shopping malls are making Singapore very boring.

    99% Peranakans NOT.

    Correct myself... done deals!

    The landlord of the former Katong Mall, which will reopen in Q3 2011, has unveiled three key tenants, which include Golden Village Multiplex, Market Place by Cold Storage and the BreadTalk Group.

    Following a $60-million facelift, the tenants will occupy 32 percent of retail space at Katong Mall, said landlord Perennial Katong Retail Trust.

    The six-storey mall will have a 207,000-sq-ft net lettable area, an increase of 20 percent in space from the existing site. The revamped mall will fetch a rent of $12 psf on average. More than 30 percent of the mall’s tenants are expected to be food and beverage outlets. The mall will also increase its parking space by more than 70 percent.

    The mall was sold in November to Perennial Katong Retail Trust for $247.55 million.

    Golden Cape Investments, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tuan Sing Holdings, secured a 100 percent ownership of the mall through a successful bid amounting to $219 million in a collective sale in June 2008. Before that, Golden Cape already owned 72 percent of the total strata floor area of Katong Mall.
