HarbourFront Centre's closure on July 27 marks end of an era
The Straits Times
|June 30, 2026
Tenants at HarbourFront Centre are getting ready to move out of their shop spaces, with some stores already shuttered when The Straits Times visited the mall on June 25.
The building will cease operations on July 27 before its redevelopment into a 33-storey building with office and retail spaces.
The Singapore Cruise Centre will relocate down the road to 5 HarbourFront Avenue from July 15, the mall said on its Facebook page on June 19.
HarbourFront Centre’s closure is timely, given how dated the mall is, said James Sim, lecturer at Nanyang Polytechnic’s School of Business Management, adding that its retail experience lags behind that of most other malls in Singapore.
The site sits within Singapore’s Greater Southern Waterfront corridor, a prime stretch of real estate under development that would give mall owner and developer Mapletree Investments the chance to unlock far greater value in the property through its planned mixed-use development, he said.
