City Square Mall is undergoing a S$50 million makeover.
The mall will continue to operate as it is being refurbished, and works are set to be completed in the first half of 2025.
What's new
The renovation will add about 26,000 square feet of bonus gross floor area to rejuvenate the 11-storey mall. The bonus floor area will be used to create more variety in the shopping experience.
Whether you love to shop popular retail brands for new outfits, or if you’re looking for a place to dine at, you can still do so at shops like Adidas Outlet, Uniqlo, Astons Specialities, Dian Xiao Er, and many more that remain open.
As part of the rejuvenation efforts, parents can also expect to see several shops providing a range of fun and educational activities to keep the little ones engaged while they shop in peace.
A food haven will be created on Level 4, while a new food court at Basement 3 recently opened.
The rejuvenation effort also aims to provide an elevated experience by modernising the mall’s interior and through the addition of community-based initiatives and sustainable features.

If diners are looking for a treat, they’d also be able to have traditional Chinese desserts and cakes from Mei Heong Yuen Dessert located next to Food Republic.
Level 4 will be transformed into a food haven with restaurants and F&B offerings of local favourites and international cuisine.
It will also serve as a gathering place for visitors to chit-chat over a bite, before heading to the newly created community spaces to engage in family-friendly programmes.

City Square Mall will showcase sustainable initiatives and circularity by integrating upcycled materials into its new interior decorations.
For example, lift lobbies and wall finishes from Basement 4 to Level 6 will be refreshed with sustainable decorative eco-materials such as bamboo chopsticks, plastic bottles and bubble wrap.
Handrails that were dismantled during the renovation will also be formed into benches for shoppers to rest their feet.
