New tenants moving into Orchard Towers as mall sheds sleaze

[SINGAPORE] Orchard Towers is slowly filling up, drawing new tenants with “affordable” rents as the mall sheds its shady image.

Once dominated by nightlife establishments, Orchard Towers began emptying out in 2023 after the police stopped renewing and granting public entertainment licences. 

But since the start of the year, new tenants have been moving into the building, drawn by its comparably lower rents and the availability of units in a prime Orchard Road location.
