The mall has achieved 92 per cent in commitment for retail leasing to date as well as 98 per cent in pre-leasing commitment for its twin office blocks, according to a joint media statement by CapitaLand Mall Trust’s (CMT) manager and CapitaLand.
The mall will welcome shoppers again on June 28, two months ahead of its original schedule after a three-year redevelopment. With a total gross floor area of 887,000sq ft, the Funan integrated development comprises a shopping mall, two office blocks and lyf Funan Singapore – the Singapore flagship of The Ascott Limited’s lyf co-living serviced residence, which is slated to open in the fourth quarter of this year.
Funan is located in the Civic District, with a direct underpass linking to City Hall MRT station. The mall will house more than 180 brands, of which one-third are new-to-market, new concept stores or flagships. These include consumer tech firm Dyson with its first standalone store in Singapore, and British folding bikes manufacturer Brompton Junction’s South-east Asian flagship store. Golden Village’s seven-screen multiplex at Funan will feature two new seating concepts and virtual reality pods, while local theatre group Wild Rice will raise the curtains at its theatre and studio.
