City Square Mall (CSM) has completed a S$50m Asset Enhancement Initiative (AEI), transforming it into a vibrant community hub. Officially launched by Eric Chua, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for the Ministry of Law and Ministry of Social and Family Development, the revamp introduces CONNECT @ City Square Mall, a community space developed with the National Council of Social Service. This space unites five social service agencies to support children and families.
The mall, which opened in 2009 as Singapore’s first eco-mall, now features enhanced green spaces, including the updated City Green park with two revamped playgrounds. The refurbishment also includes new dining and lifestyle concepts, such as Gastro Square, a 24,000 square foot dining destination offering international cuisines and hosting events and workshops.
Sherman Kwek, Group CEO of City Developments Limited, stated, “City Square Mall now offers a more dynamic retail experience, with vibrant spaces and a refreshed tenant mix.” The mall has achieved nearly 100% occupancy, supported by strong footfall and leasing momentum.
Sustainability remains a core focus, with upcycled materials used in interior upgrades and the expansion of the CDL MicroForest. The mall aims to become the first in Singapore to achieve certification under the Singapore Environment Council’s Eco Spaces framework by 2026.
With its refreshed interiors, expanded green areas, and enhanced programming, City Square Mall reemerges as a vibrant, inclusive community hub, blending heritage, community, and sustainability.
