One Raffles Place reopens today after major makeover
OUE shares rise 3.8% ahead of the mall's soft relaunch
[SINGAPORE] One Raffles Place shopping mall will reopen its doors today in a soft relaunch, after completing a major refurbishment exercise that gave it a new facade.
The mall, located just above Raffles Place MRT Station and with a net lettable area of about 98,500 square feet spread over six levels, has a committed occupancy of more than 90 per cent. Its tenants will progressively open for business, with Swedish clothing retailer H&M being the first to welcome shoppers today. The mall will also be introducing other new brands, such as Uniqlo, Victoria's Secret, Melissa and Paris Baguette.
"These brands, which are making their first foray in the area, bring a dose of Orchard Road into the heart of Raffles Place," said Letty Lee, retail services director of CBRE Singapore, the project's sole marketing agency. Other tenants include brands such as The Hour Glass, Tumi, Pandora, Swatch and Owndays.
