Plaza Singapura is a contemporary shopping mall located along Orchard Road, Singapore, next to Dhoby Ghaut MRT station. The mall is managed by CapitaLand and owned by CapitaMall Trust. There are retail outlets over seven floors and two basements. The mall has a 752 lot seven-storey carpark at the rear of the building, and a two basement goods bay beneath it. The mall is popular with families, teenagers and young adults.[1]
The mall was first opened in 1974 and in 2012, it underwent an extensive revamp which included the construction of a new wing increasing retail space by 25 percent. It is one of the oldest malls located along Orchard Road.[2]
Plaza Singapura was officially opened by then Minister for Finance, Hon Sui Sen in August 1975.
This changed during the SARS period from 2002 to 2003, when the mall once again underwent a revamp with a new tenant mix. The mall had renovations in the basements, and a direct link to Dhoby Ghaut MRT station was constructed. Travelators were also installed in the building for the convenience of shoppers serving Basement 2, Basement 1 and Level 1.In 2008, further changes were made to Plaza Singapura. Level 7 of the mall was given a face lift and tenants selling toys, gifts and hobby related items such as swords and cosplay costumes were introduced.
In 2012, Plaza Singapura underwent major renovation work which costs about S$ 150 million. The first phase signifies that the first three levels of Atrium@Orchard, which housed several offices, were converted to shop spaces. The second phase involves the former Carrefour (after the exit on 30 September that year, it became a "missing" shop) converted to supermarket Cold Storage in Basement 2 and department store John Little in Level 1, which were completed in June 2013. John Little was closed down in December 2016 and was replaced by Muji and previously, Urban Revivo had took over the space from 2017 to 2023.
Times Bookstore had also closed down in February 2024 and was replaced by The Travel Store. Other long-time tenants do include DMK, Cotton On and Uniqlo.
The mall has also been given a new façade with a 170-metre long wave frontage and features multi-coloured sculptures called the Jelly Baby Family by Italian artist Mauro Peruchetti. The renovation and construction of a new wing has increased the retail floor area of the mall from to, which added 80 new retail and F&B shops to the directory of the mall.[3]
In 2015, Plaza Singapura underwent interior upgrading works. Floor finishes, corridor lighting, toilets and lift lobbies were upgraded. More nursing rooms were added on Level 2.[4]
