Going to a mall is a Singaporean’s favourite pastime, since food, shopping, and perhaps most importantly, air-con, are all in one place. Heading out to the usual malls in town or your heartland neighbourhood might get boring after a while, so here are some new and recently renovated shopping malls in Singapore to check out if you need a new haunt.
Offering chill meetup spots, international gourmet offerings, and endless retail therapy, Singapore has plenty of new mall openings and recent upgrades. Consider swinging by to shop for your essentials or purely kill time with a jalan-jalan session.

With the Thomson-East Coast Line’s completion already scheduled to happen later this year, it’s no wonder that they’re beefing up mall-related offerings along the brown line. Lentor Modern is the newest haunt that residents up North can hang out at, being only a short, sheltered walk from Lentor MRT station.
It has everything you’d want from a neighbourhood mall, from a 24/7 gym in Anytime Fitness, to fast food mainstays like KFC and Burger King. There’s also a CHAGEE outlet here, in case you need to get your BBT fix, and swing by the Ma Kuang TCM clinic when you’re feeling under the weather; they’ve got treatments such as tuina, acupuncture, and dietary therapy.
Families residing nearby will also appreciate Lentor Modern’s slew of kid-focused tenants. As you do your grocery shopping at the Cold Storage Fresh supermarket, drop the little ones off at enrichment centres like Aspire Hub, Hua Xia Language Centre, and for aspiring Mozarts and Beethovens, Cristofori Music Academy.
Following the opening of Plantation Plaza back in 2024, Tengah residents finally have another “mall” to patronise. Having just opened in February 2026, Parc Point is the second neighbourhood centre that’ll service those living in the vicinity, and is a welcome addition to make Tengah a lot less ulu.

Although it’s no Jurong Point or Westgate, those living in the Park district will definitely appreciate the addition of the 3-storey-tall Parc Point. For starters, you can shop for all your daily essentials at its FairPrice supermarket or Valu$ dollar store.
Meanwhile, you can visit the Gourmet Paradise Foodcourt for local fare, or pop by familiar eateries like Ya Kun Kaya Toast or Saizeriya for a bite.

Tengah’s whole schtick is being one of the greenest neighbourhoods around, and you’ll see this ethos reflected in Parc Point too. There’s a Wellness Garden on the building’s rooftop, and nearby, visitors can take a stroll at the 1.5km-long Rainforest Walk, which features nature-infused stops like a bird sanctuary and a butterfly garden.
For the longest time, the gargantuan Parkway Parade had a monopoly on mall-goers in the Marine Parade neighbourhood, as it was the only one around. Now, just down the street, you’ve got a less crowded option to do your shopping at: iMall.
In fact, it’s even closer to the Marine Parade MRT station than its predecessor, being a mere 1-minute walk away. Undoubtedly, its directory doesn’t hold a candle to Parkway Parade’s when it comes to the number of shops here. Just head to their website, and you’ll easily be able to count all 28 of them.
But herein lies the beauty of iMall: the pint-sized mall doesn’t attract large crowds due to its unique range of tenants. You’ll most definitely be able to get a seat at their eateries even during peak hours, so hunker down for some mala at Tang2 Malatang, or grab breakfast at Toast Box.
Moreover, it’s an absolute haven for family outings. There’s a Paco Funworld arcade to while the hours winning tickets, as well as a HappyWiz indoor playground for the little ones to go wild at. If they’ve still got gas left in the tank, sign them up for a session at the BearyFun Gym X, where they get to flip and tumble to their hearts’ content.
After 2 long years, Bukit Batok residents can finally heave a sigh of relief, as they can finally explore the rejuvenated West Mall. The mall has gotten a major glow-up in its basement and the open-air community plaza outside.
Bookworms can look forward to burying themselves in a good read at the newly renovated Bukit Batok Public Library, which will be reopened on 27th March 2026; just a heads up, it’ll be more than twice the size it once was, so you won’t have to worry about being disturbed during your mugging sessions.
There are also a couple of new eateries in the mall’s upgraded basement, namely Gochiya, which serves tonkatsu and teppanyaki sets, and Lao Ma Ban Mian, which has garnered a cult following for their atas instant noodles. As for the community plaza, there are new steps for you to catch your breath at, and it’ll serve as the main hub for any mall events in the future.
An unassuming new opening in the Chinatown neighbourhood is ICON Link@Club Street, but as Singaporeans, we’ll take any air-conditioned respite we can get. Honestly, calling it a mall is an overstatement, as it’s essentially an underground shopping street that houses around 30 restaurants and retail stores.
But its main draw is that it’s directly connected to the Telok Ayer and Chinatown MRT stations, which means you don’t have to expose yourself to the horrid tropical heat to get here. As such, it has become a hotspot for those working in the area, especially during lunch.
Speaking of which, some of the notable eateries you can expect to find here include a Katong Mei Wei Chicken Rice outlet, Fun Toast, Luckin Coffee, and Domino’s. When corporate life is hitting too hard, undo stress knots at Three Star Wellness & Massage, or get a convenient makeover at the Kairos Hair salon.
The Cathay Mall is an oldie that reopened with a whole new look. One new feature of the mall is its 360° multimedia tower, which stands proudly in the middle of its main atrium and is nearly 3 storeys tall. The tower showcases virtual landscapes complete with dreamy soundscapes and speakers that’ll transport you to a completely different world.
Here, you can drop by Wingstop for a hearty lunch, or other mall mainstays like Saizeriya (#B1-11), Ya Kun Kaya Toast (#B1-13), and Yoshinoya (#B1-08).
Aside from shopping and dining, The Cathay also has a pet-friendly sky garden where you can unwind. It has plenty of seating to lounge at and let your pets run amok, and taps to clean up or help your pets rehydrate after a long play session.
Jelita Mall is a heartland mall that serves the residents of Bukit Timah and Holland Village. It’s got an updated look, upgraded lifts, escalators and a brand new car park. They used to have free 1-hour parking, but now drivers are required to spend a minimum of $30 at participating retailers like Cold Storage to get that free 1-hour parking..
If you’re not here for grocery shopping, grab a bite from their numerous eateries like Craftsman Speciality Coffee (#02-04), Four Pizza (#02-17) and Jelita Gourmet (#02-18).
Geneo @ Singapore Science Park is more than just another office building, and its stunning cathedral-style walls are a testament to that. This open-air mall is more than just a place to snap pretty pictures – it’s also home to numerous eateries and the long-awaited Swensen’s Unlimited (#01-06).
Unlike the typical Swensen’s at your neighbourhood mall, Swensen’s Unlimited is a buffet-style restaurant with a 90-minute dinner service. You’ll be spoiled for choice here – on the left wall of the restaurant, you have fresh seafood and a salad bar, complete with a variety of sauces.
Follow the food trail and you’ll reach the side and main dishes they offer here, like breaded chicken, roasted herb potatoes, and sautéed meatballs in black pepper cream. To end your meal, they even have an ice cream and gelato bar with 48 different flavours to choose from.
Head over to Hawkerlab, where there’s Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cuisines to whet your appetite if you’re not feeling Western food. It’s an air-conditioned hawker centre, so you won’t have to worry about the heat.
For quick bites or a pick-me-up coffee, Geneo has cafes like Pyroast (#01-27) and Olive & Peach (#01-31). We heard the focaccia sandwiches are made fresh daily, a perfect lunch-time treat. Otherwise, they also have other food options like Pasta Express (#B2-39), Ha-Jun Korean (#B2-32), and Putien (#B1-33).
Punggol Coast Mall opened back in March of 2025, much to the delight of those of us living all the way in the North-East. SIT students and Punggol residents can find themselves milling around this new mall to shop, dine and hang out.
Their open-air plaza has plenty of seating for you to chill and enjoy the breeze. Otherwise, pop by the cafes or restaurants for a quick bite and window shop at their shopping outlets like MUJI (#01-53/54/55) and Coldwear (#01-79/80) – a shop specialising in winter wear.
Kada at Maxwell mixes up the old and new in one gorgeous lifestyle hub. Singapore’s newest hipster hangout is found in the historic building once known as St Andrew’s Mission Hospital for women and children. Here, you’ll find Singapore’s oldest electric lift, built way back in 1929, that you can still ride in.
A hipster spot wouldn’t be complete without a cafe, and this “mall” has a number of them. Pacto by Parchment is a must-visit if you’re here. Get your drinks through a window like you’re at a drive-through. They sell specialty coffees from $4 but if you’re not a coffee drinker, they have chocolate drinks from $5 too.
If you’re thinking of bringing along a pet or getting matcha, then ECHO is the cafe you’re looking for. Those serious about their cuppa can head to Kyuukei Coffee, which was founded by a fellow coffee enthusiast.
KADA is more than just a hang-out spot, though; they also have 4 event spaces for rent – The Atrium, Oasis Lounge, The Roof, and The Lawn. Each space has a unique vibe and serves as a great place to host gatherings.
It’s been a good couple of months since the opening of WEAVE @ Resorts World Sentosa caused much buzz, and now that most of its stores are up and running, it’s a great spot to take a breather after your visit to USS or the Singapore Oceanarium.
There are plenty of restaurants to dine at, in case you’d rather not pay for overpriced theme park food. Swing by Homm Dessert, which whips up Thai Tea Avalanche Bingsus to beat the heat with, and when you’re feeling boujee, Pierre Herme has dainty pastries that almost look too delicate to eat.
There’s also a CHAGEE joint here to cool down with, and a Din Tai Fung outlet to feast on yummy XLBs.
When you’re itching for some shopping, fulfil your cravings to crack open a blind box at the POP MART pop-up store, or bring home an adorable souvenir at the Snoopy Store Singapore. Curiously, there are also a few footwear stores here such as adidas, Crocs, and Birkenstock if you need a new pair of kicks.
Address: 26 Sentosa Gateway, Singapore 098138
Opening hours: 10am-10pm, Daily
