HarbourFront Centre to close on Jul. 27, will reopen in 2031

HarbourFront Centre will cease operations on Jul. 27, the shopping mall announced in a Facebook post on Jun. 19.

The mall will be redeveloped into a 33-storey mixed-use building, with office and retail spaces and an elevated park.

Meanwhile, the Singapore Cruise Centre will be relocated to the new HarbourFront passenger terminal at 5 HarbourFront Avenue, with effect from Jul. 15, 2026.

Ferry services and routes unaffected

Earlier on Jun. 15, the Singapore Cruise Centre said in a statement that Batam Fast Ferry would be the first operator to begin operations at the new location on Jul. 7.

The remaining ferry operators — Horizon Fast Ferry, Majestic Fast Ferry, Sindo Ferry and Indo Falcon Shipping & Travel — as well as cruise operations, will follow from Jul. 15.

The Singapore Cruise Centre added that no changes will be made to ferry routes, destinations and scheduling as a result of the move.

HarbourFront Centre has been the location of Singapore Cruise Centre's international terminal since 1992.

33-storey building

HarbourFront Centre is expected to reopen in the first half of 2031, following redevelopment works.

It will become a 33-storey mixed-use development featuring office and retail spaces and an elevated park that stretches towards the waterfront.

The new 123,000 sqm, 33-storey "flagship commercial project" will complement the development of the "Greater Southern Waterfront", said Mapletree Investments last October.

The building will boast a verdant facade, with greenery stretching from the office tower down to a 13,000 sqm elevated park.
