Raffles City, Singapore's premier fashion and lifestyle mall, is scheduled to complete its asset enhancement initiative in Q4 2022 with a slate of new international brands opening progressively to offer unique, first-ever experiential concepts and extended merchandise range. 

The mall rejuvenation, which has been in progress since late 2021, will reconfigure about 111,000 sq ft of the retail space to add over 50 new brands across Levels 1 to 3, to create an elevated and international outlook. Shoppers can expect a specially curated mix of well-established, premium brands, across fashion, beauty and lifestyle categories, new retail formats and exciting digital experiences that make shopping at Raffles City engaging, enriching and delightful every time.

Mr Steve Ng, General Manager of Raffles City Singapore, said, "Raffles City's rejuvenation plans are part of our continuous efforts to keep us on the pulse of the rapidly evolving shopping and lifestyle needs of our shoppers. Our new tenant mix has been carefully curated to cater to the diverse demographics who frequent our mall, especially those who seek more than just retail gratification and the discerning ones who appreciate the finer things in life."

To better connect and engage with its loyal, prestige shoppers, the mall will also focus on its by-invite only Raffles Prestige membership by offering exclusive, differentiated, and bespoke VIP experiences, including exclusive invitations to events and previews, priority concierge services and personalised gifts, to name a few.

Together with its established hospitality assets that include two five-star hotels – Fairmont Singapore and Swissôtel The Stamford, as well as a myriad of stellar dining options, the rejuvenated Raffles City will be uniquely placed as a revitalised, upscale integrated retail and lifestyle hub in the Downtown Civic District area. 

With the opening up of Singapore to fully-vaccinated travellers, the timely mall rejuvenation will also welcome tourists with new offerings, including the newly-launched CapitaLand Malls' Tourists Privilege Programme that rewards tourists with shopping and dining deals, eCapitaVouchers and complimentary premium airport transfers with minimum spending at Raffles City or other selected CapitaLand malls.
