New Serangoon Central mall

It was in the news today. Serangoon is going to get a huge mall which is bigger than AMK Hub and Junction 8 combined. Following are the features:

24 hours retail and food outlet
10 screen cineplex
games arcade
pet lovers' enclave
big foodcourt
hypermarket
departmental store

The whole project is worth 1.3 billion.

Although I do not live there, but the news itself is interesting to draw my attention. Because where do you see a neighbourhood shopping centre which is this large? If you look at Lot 1 or old Northpoint, the floor area is actually very small. Maybe they think there is not many customer at the HDB.

I went to my friend's house at Kovan Melody. To my surprise, the Kovan mall has a huge crowd, although the mall itself is very very small. That might explain why are they building a big mall in Serangoon. Because there are many residents there? and the surrounding Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Hougang would supply customer also?

Anyway, I think it would be a huge success when it is completed. By the time, financial crissis might already end and everybody is ready to spend again!
