Katong Shopping Centre (Chinese: 加东购物中心) is a shopping centre located along Mountbatten Road in Singapore. Established in 1971 and opened to the public in 1973, it was the first air-conditioned mall in Singapore. Katong Shopping Centre is situated around Odeon Theater, Church of the Holy Family, and Roxy Square, as well as several hotels, such as Paramount Hotel and the Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel. The aging mall was once home to mostly textile, shoe and food outlets,^[1] and now houses many services which include tailoring, photocopying/printing and several employment agencies.

History[]

In mid January 2010, 80% of the 410 owners gave their approval to the en bloc sales. Owners were expected to receive a reserve price of at least $2000 per sq ft.^[2]

In August 2011, the mall embarked on its first attempt at en bloc sales, slated to be completed in mid-2012. But the $445 million deal fell through. Back then, the apportioned value to each owner was an average of $2,000 to $2,800 per square foot.^[3]

As of June 2014, there was a second attempt to have an en bloc sales.^{[citation needed]}
