History[]

Parkway Parade Shopping Centre

Parkway Parade was developed by Parkway Holdings and was completed in December 1983. At that time of completion, it was one of the first suburban shopping malls in Singapore. It featured many major tenants setting up their stores in the suburbs for the first time, such as Isetan, Marks & Spencer, Yaohan Best, children's department store Small World and MPH Bookstores. It also featured a wide array of food choices, including Chuck'E'Cheese, Hardees' and Petite Park and also had an amusement centre occupying Levels 3 and 4 (Funland) and a playground at Level 7, which was the largest mall playground in Singapore at that time. The mall was also home to the second Singapore outlet of Border's bookstore in 2007, together with Dôme Cafe sharing a portion of its floor space.

In 2000, the property was sold to Asia Pacific Insurance Company, and subsequently Lendlease was appointed to manage the mall.

The mall commenced its first makeover in March 2002 and was completed in two phases. The first phase included a new tenant mix, to reflect the positioning of the mall. This included anchor tenant, Giant, occupying nearly half of the third floor. The mall was fully renovated in November 2003, with the second phase completed in November 2003, with an expanded food court by Food Republic at the Basement floor and an alfresco-dining area on the first floor. It also included the completion of the 'Waterfall' leisure and dining precinct with one of the country's tallest glass waterfall, a water play area, six food and beverage outdoor kiosks and a restaurant.

Further facelifts were done to mall's exterior featuring an expanded alfresco-dining to the first floor in 2011, with the removal of the 'Waterfall' leisure feature and repositioning of the mall's entrance area. Completed in end 2012, the new alfresco-dining area houses around 10 new tenants to the expansion, which includes Din Tai Fung, Papparich and Twelve Cupcakes.

In 2015, a mix of retail shops was introduced to keep the mall updated. Yaohan Best, now Best Denki, was relocated to Level 3, together with six rows of retail shops taking a part of the hypermarket space. A seven-screen Cathay Cineplex opened in September 2017, taking over the former True Fitness space at Level 7.[4]

In the third week of June 2019, Dôme Cafe closed their final outlet in Singapore, which was in Parkway Parade. It was replaced with LiHo Tea.

Giant ceased operations after an 18-year tenancy at Parkway Parade in February 2020, with Fairprice Xtra as an anchor tenant that opened thereafter in 2021.[5] In August 2021, Isetan recently announced that it will cease operations in Parkway Parade by March 2022 after 39 years of operation.[6]
