Shopaholics, get your money ready as Orchard Road is set to its new mall ‘Orchard Gateway‘ in November this year!
According to our source, the marketing agent Savills revealed that 80% of the 172,000 square feet of retail space has aleady been pre-committed. Savills also said that the mall has managed to snag some international names including American Crate & Barrel, multi-label fashion company I.T Hong Kong and Swatch, Sweden’s fashion brand J.Lindeberg and US shoe brand Red Wings.
J.Lindeberg will be introducing her ladies range for the first time in Singapore while Red Wings is opening their first concept store there.
Sulian Claire Tan-Wijaya, senior director at Savills, added: “Also coming in to Orchard Gateway is Nike – they are introducing a new concept called Amplify women. We have also dedicated the entire fourth floor just for men, so it’s…very much skewed towards men’s fashion. There is also UK brand Religion, which has never been to Singapore.”
Orchard Gateway also has 37,000 square feet of office space and a 500-room hotel which set to attract more tourists to come to Singapore. Barring any unforeseen events, analysts expect retail sales to remain healthy this year, supported by tourism and domestic demand.
