Shaw House is a shopping mall which was first built in 1958, the home of Lido cinema (now Lido 8 Cineplex. In the late 1980s, owner Shaw Organisation decided to tear down the old Lido cinema, and build a 21 storey building with a basement. This project was completed in 1993. It houses the main store of Isetan in Singapore since then, with five floors, and a Japanese supermarket in the basement. It has offices on the upper floors on the building.

The building also house the Lido Cineplex with 8 screens on Levels 5 and 6. At the opening time in 1993, it started of with only 5 halls, but was expanded with another 3 halls in 1997 to keep up with the demands of the cinema market. The main hall, Lido 1 has a capacity of over 900, which was renovated in 2004. The first hall in the country to be THX certified with SDDS, DTS, Dolby Digital and Dolby SR. The projection booth has the ability to "interlock" one print in more than one hall, to allow a blockbuster to be seen in several halls at one time. Although Lido 1 is no longer THX certified, it has equipped itself with Dolby Digital Surround.EX sound system and is also a 2K DIGITAL hall. Lido 2 is also now a 2K DIGITAL hall capable of screening digital movies. Lido 3 is an E-cinema.
