Singaporean property and investment group Capitaland has announced that the hotly anticipated Funan Mall will reopen to the public on 28 June.

Situated in Singapore's Civic District, the revamped retail complex, which was restored by Capitaland for an estimated £320m (US$406.3m, €361.6m), features an array of civic-orientated leisure and recreational facilities, including a 200-metre indoor cycling path (a first for the city), a bouldering wall, an edible plant garden, and over 180 retail and dining outlets based on six “passion themes”: Tech, Craft, Play, Fit, Chic, and Taste.

Funan also plays host to a fitness centre, pool, cineplex, and futsal court, plus a select number of apartments.

“We envision Funan as a vibrant live-work-play hub,” the company said in a description of the project.

“It will foster emotional connections with its users through lively social and cultural activities, inviting public places and energetic community vibes.”

Chris Chong, managing director of retail at CapitaLand, said the mall would “bring together experiential and activity-based retail at a scale not seen before in Singapore’s Civic District”.

He added that the relaunched space, which took 27 months to complete, would “serve as a social space where people spend their time experiencing, discovering, and shopping".

The project was designed by Woods Bagot, who said their intent was to create a “porous streetscape” that would support Singapore’s goal to promote a more health-conscious and less car-dependent society.
