Singapore’s Ion Orchard mall – the Sun Hung Kai Properties Orchard Turn JV development  – has been named Best City Shopping Centre for the fourth time in a poll conducted by AsiaOne.
SHKP describes the distinction as an endorsement of the mall’s “unique design and premium tenant mix”.
The AsiaOne People’s Choice Awards this year had more than 250,000 internet users choosing from 251 shortlisted candidates to name the most iconic and popular Asian brands in 27 categories. Ion Orchard topped the list of shopping centres in the city.
Orchard Turn Developments CEO Chris Chong said the award was testament to Ion Orchard’s popularity with local shoppers and visitors and the company’s dedication to creating a premier shopping experience.
“We thank everyone for their continuous support and commend the efforts of our Ion Orchard team in engaging customers with marketing events and social media promotions. Ion Orchard will continue to expand and bring in renowned global brands, enabling customers to enjoy a new, inventive shopping adventure.”
Designed by Benoy, the eight-level, 950,000 sqft Ion Orchard sits on a prime location in the Orchard Rd shopping district and houses more than 330 outlets including top international brands and gourmet restaurants.
High-tech display screens mounted on the external facades can deliver multi-sensory presentations, while the sheltered public Ion Square is ideal for relaxation and can host large events, gatherings and celebrations.
Visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of city from the Ion Sky observation deck or appreciate works of art in the Ion Art Gallery, which offers shoppers a taste of culture for added pleasure.
