Overview
Jurong Point Shopping Mall is a large regional shopping centre in Jurong West Central, Singapore. It is situated beside Boon Lay MRT station and the air-conditioned Boon Lay Bus Interchange, giving it an unusually strong connection to public transport and the surrounding residential districts. The mall serves as a major retail, dining, entertainment and community destination for western Singapore. The centre opened in December 1995 with 95 retailers. Its early tenant mix included Courts, Golden Village, NTUC FairPrice, Kopitiam, Old Chang Kee, Harvey Norman, then operating as SAFE superstore, and Soo Kee Jewellery. Several of these businesses were among the first retailers in the area to establish themselves in a shopping-mall environment, and a number remained associated with the property over subsequent decades. Jurong Point also hosted Jurong West Public Library, which was notable as Singapore’s first public library located inside a shopping mall. The library later moved to an adjacent community club, allowing the mall to reorganise its upper-floor space as a community-oriented hub. Jurong Point expanded in two major phases. The first extension was secured in 1998 and opened in December 2000. It added approximately 150,000 square feet of space and more than 160 tenants, as well as bringing John Little into the centre. A second, much larger redevelopment began in 2006. It created the JP2 retail wing, an air-conditioned bus interchange and the adjoining residential development known as The Centris. JP2 opened in December 2008 with approximately 230 shops, while the original section became known as JP1. The expansion added major tenants including an NTUC FairPrice Xtra hypermarket and My First Skool, and increased the number of car-parking spaces from 415 to 1,425. The Centris was completed in August 2009 and the new Boon Lay Bus Interchange opened in December of that year. The mall’s scale and tenant breadth have made it one of Singapore’s most significant suburban retail properties. It has more than 450 retail and food-and-beverage outlets across six levels. It has been described as Singapore’s largest shopping mall by tenant count, the largest mall in the western part of the country, and the third-largest nationally by net shopping floor area after VivoCity and Suntec City. Its tenant mix has continued to change as retailers’ strategies and leases have evolved. John Little’s last suburban outlet closed in July 2016 and was replaced by BHG, which opened in December that year. BHG subsequently ceased operations at the mall on 13 February 2022. The property has also seen changes involving Timezone, Haidilao, NTUC FairPrice and Don Don Donki. The basement-level NTUC FairPrice outlet closed on 21 June 2022 and was replaced by Don Don Donki, while a FairPrice outlet on the third floor of JP2 continued operating. Cotton On closed its mall operations on 1 April 2025 after the expiry of a 15-year lease. Jurong Point remains an active retail and community destination.
History
Jurong Point opened in December 1995 in Jurong West, a major residential and transport corridor in western Singapore. It began with 95 retailers, including Courts, Golden Village, NTUC FairPrice, Kopitiam, Old Chang Kee, Harvey Norman—then operating under the SAFE superstore name—and Soo Kee Jewellery. The centre was notable not only for its retail offer but also for the early participation of businesses that had not previously operated in a conventional shopping-mall setting. A number of its original retailers remained at the property for many years. The mall also accommodated Jurong West Public Library. Its location inside a shopping mall was significant because it was the first public library in Singapore to be situated in such a setting. In 2005, the library moved to an adjacent community club. The former library area, together with Levels 5 and 6, was subsequently reorganised into a community hub, broadening the property’s role beyond conventional shopping. The first major extension followed an agreement in 1998 to secure about 150,000 square feet of additional space. The extension opened in December 2000 and added more than 160 tenants. John Little became one of the new anchor retailers, strengthening the mall’s department-store and suburban-shopping proposition. A second expansion began in 2006 and materially changed the scale and integration of the development. The project introduced JP2, a new retail wing with about 230 shops, an air-conditioned Boon Lay Bus Interchange and The Centris, a residential development linked to the wider complex. JP2 opened in December 2008, after which the original mall was identified as JP1. The expansion introduced anchors such as an NTUC FairPrice Xtra hypermarket and My First Skool. It also increased parking capacity from 415 to 1,425 spaces. The Centris was completed in August 2009, and the new bus interchange opened in December 2009. These additions reinforced Jurong Point’s role as a transit-oriented regional centre. Its proximity to Boon Lay MRT station, direct relationship with the bus interchange and integration with surrounding homes allow it to serve both planned shoppers and daily commuters. The centre now contains more than 450 retail and food-and-beverage outlets across six levels. It is described as Singapore’s largest mall by number of tenants, the largest mall in western Singapore and the country’s third-largest by net shopping floor space, after VivoCity and Suntec City. The tenant roster has continued to evolve. John Little’s last suburban store at Jurong Point closed in July 2016 and was replaced by BHG in December of that year. BHG later closed on 13 February 2022. Other tenant changes included the departure of Timezone and Haidilao. At grocery level, the first-basement NTUC FairPrice outlet closed on 21 June 2022 and was replaced by Don Don Donki, while another FairPrice outlet on the third floor of JP2 remained in operation. Cotton On closed on 1 April 2025 following the expiry of a 15-year lease. These changes illustrate the mall’s continuing adaptation of its retail mix while its core function as a western Singapore shopping and community hub remains active.

Retail and grocery shopping
Jurong Point provides a broad suburban retail mix spanning groceries, fashion, department-store merchandise, consumer electronics, household goods, jewellery and everyday services. Its tenant base includes large-format grocery operations as well as smaller specialty retailers, allowing the centre to serve both routine neighbourhood needs and destination shopping.
Dining · 1995
Food and beverage
Food and beverage is a substantial part of Jurong Point’s offer, ranging from quick-service and takeaway operators to restaurants and cafés. Early tenants included Kopitiam and Old Chang Kee, while later tenant changes have included restaurant and leisure concepts. The dining offer supports commuters, residents, families and shoppers throughout the day.
