If you’ve always viewed HarbourFront Centre as just a place to eat before a cruise or Sentosa jaunt, that’s all set to change in a bit. The low-rise shopping mall near VivoCity is due for a grand glow-up, where it will transform into a shiny new 33-storey mixed-use building serving both retail and commercial purposes.
HarbourFront Centre will close in the second half of 2026 to make way for this makeover, and will reopen in the first half of 2031 – that’s almost a five-year-long renovation so we’ve got high hopes.
Out of the 33 floors, 26 will be used for offices, with the rest reserved for dining, shopping, and general recreation. As part of the refresh, HarbourFront Centre will also have an elevated park that sits adjacent to a waterfront promenade. Visitors will be able to soak in 360-degree views of the sea and Southern Ridges from this scenic plant-filled space.
To help reduce carbon footprints, the new HarbourFront Centre is designed with sustainable features, including solar panels, eco-friendly water management, smart lighting, and electric vehicle charging stations. There will also be bicycle parking spots and other bike-friendly facilities to encourage car-lite travel since the area links to Labrador Park and other nature spots and park connectors as part of the Greater Southern Waterfront.
