Work will start soon on a revamp of One Raffles Place Shopping Mall aimed at improving shopper circulation and opening up the retail space for better visibility.

As the mall will trade throughout the renovation, work is being phased to minimise disruption.

At the same time, the mall will introduce a co-working space covering more than 35,000sqft across several levels. A flagship for IWG’s Spaces, the venue will be able to host and launch retail and fashion-related events.

Its multi-level layout is also expected to improve vertical traffic at the mall, with direct access to Raffles Place Park. A strong F&B offering on the first level will make it ideal for corporate gatherings and casual meetings after work.

“As the mall attracts high shopper traffic of nearly one million people each month, services and F&B tenants will remain the mainstay of the retail offering,” says CEO Tan Shu Lin of OUE Commercial Reit Management, which runs the mall.
