Parkway Parade (Chinese: 百汇广场; pinyin: Bǎihuì Guǎngchǎng) is a suburban shopping centre in Marine Parade, Singapore. Opened on March 9, 1984, it has a 17-floor office tower and a seven-storey shopping mall with a basement. Developed by Parkway Holdings, the company sold the building away in 2000 to Asia Pacific Investment Company and is managed by Lend Lease. The mall commenced its makeover in March 2002 and was completed in two phases. The first phase included a new tenant mix, to reflect the positioning of the mall. This included anchor tenant, Giant on the third floor. The mall’s second phase was completed in November 2003, with a brand-new and expanded food court and an alfresco-dining area on the first floor. It also included the completion of the ‘Waterfall’ leisure and dining precinct with one of the country’s tallest glass waterfall, a water play area, six food and beverage kiosks and a restaurant. The mall was fully renovated in November 2003.

Further facelifts were done to mall’s exterior featuring an expanded alfresco-dining to the first floor in 2011, with the removal of the ‘Waterfall’ leisure feature and repositioning of the entrance area. Completed in late 2012, the new alfresco-dining area houses around 10 new tenants to the expansion.

112 Katong, formerly Katong Mall, is a 7 storey shopping mall in the east of Singapore located at the intersection of East Coast Road and Joo Chiat Road. The mall opened on 18 November 2011.

Pua Seck Guan, former chief executive of CapitaLand Retail, bought over Katong Mall in a $247.55 million deal. A private trust called Perennial Katong Retail Trust was subsequently formed to buy the mall from Tuan Sing Holdings’ Golden Cape Investment. The trust’s investors included corporate and institutional investors and Pua.

The total re-development cost of the project is estimated to be S$60 million. The mall is re-developed based on Peranakan concepts. Golden Village Katong is also designed based on Peranakan themes.

112 Katong housed high-end Danish furniture store BoConcept after it relocated from Devonshire Road. Cortina Watch which previously has only downtown outlets became the first luxury-watch retailer to have a presence in a suburban mall.
