Ten Mile Junction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ten Mile Junction (Chinese: 十里广场)is a shopping mall located at the junction between Woodlands Road and Choa Chu Kang Road. So named due to the historical Hokkien name of the area, it also doubles up as the Ten Mile Junction Depot for the Bukit Panjang LRT system, and is the headquarters for SMRT Light Rail. The Ten Mile Junction LRT Station is located within the complex.
Despite its connectivity to the LRT system, the mail experienced low human traffic due to being sandwiched between two major public housing estates, namely Bukit Panjang New Town and Choa Chu Kang New Town, each with their own major commercial centres. This restricts the mall's captive market, resulting in the exit of many initial tenants, with education centres taking over most of the space subsequently [1]. Sheng Siong Hypermarket remains the anchor tenant since its opening in December 2004.
