THE new Funan mall welcomed its first customers on Friday morning, unveiling its new look after a major S$560 million renovation which took three years. The former IT mall, which closed in mid-2016 for redevelopment, has swapped its geeky image for a swankier lifestyle vibe.
A six-storey steel structure called the Tree Of Life forms the centrepiece of the revamped mall, housing retail pods for brands to showcase their products on a pop-up concept and host workshops.
