Funan mall closes with farewell party
It will close for 3 years to redevelop into experiential hub of the future
FUNAN DigitaLife Mall bid farewell with a thank you party on Thursday. The 31-year-old building marked its last operational day before closing for three years to redevelop itself into an experiential hub of the future.
CapitaLand senior management hosted the party for some 400 invited guests comprising tenants, loyal shoppers and mall staff at the building's main atrium to celebrate the mall's milestones in the last three decades.
CapitaLand and The Straits Times launched the #BeyondIT crowdsourcing campaign from April 15 to May 31, which invited the public to imagine Funan's future beyond an IT mall. Four key themes emerged from the campaign, encapsulating shoppers' aspirations for the mall of the future - experiential retail; smart shopping technologies; lifestyle hub and sustainable living.
