Admiralty Place will be closed for two years in order to make major renovations, MP for Sembawang GRC, Vikram Nair, has announced.

The Woodlands neighbourhood shopping complex will close in phases over the next few months, with business operations winding up by the end of April.

“Many of you come to Kampung Admiralty a lot now but before this, everyone used to go to Admiralty Place,” the MP told a group of residents at Kampung Admiralty Community Plaza. “It is almost 20 years old and it has been around for a very long time. The time has come for us to improve things.

“The wet market operator is finding an alternative venue to operate and we are still in discussions with them. Hopefully, we will have a temporary wet market.”

The new mall will have three levels, with the second level devoted to F&B operators and retailers and the third level for education centres.
