Jurong Point is a large regional shopping mall located in the precinct of Jurong West Central in Jurong West, Singapore. It is next to Boon Lay MRT station and Boon Lay Bus Interchange. It is currently the largest shopping mall in Singapore in terms of number of tenants and the largest in western Singapore too.[1]

History

Jurong Point first opened its doors in December 1995 with 95 retailers including Courts, Golden Village, NTUC FairPrice, Kopitiam, Old Chang Kee and Soo Kee Jewellery. All were setting up shop in a mall environment for the first time and have not moved out since then. The mall once housed the Jurong West Public Library, which was the first public library in Singapore to be located in a shopping mall.

Since its opening, the mall has undergone two expansions. In 1998, an additional 150,000 square feet (14,000 m2) of space was successfully secured for the first extension of Jurong Point, which opened in December 2000, adding more than 160 new tenants. In 2006, the mall underwent a major expansion, which included building a new retail wing, the air conditioned Boon Lay Bus Interchange and a residential development, The Centris. The new wing, containing 230 shops, opened in December 2008. The number of parking lots increased from 415 to 1425. The Centris was completed in mid 2009, and the Boon Lay Bus Interchange opened in December 2009.
