History

Causeway Point was completed in November 1998 as the first major shopping mall to open in Woodlands. Back then, it had a 10 screen cineplex operated by Studio Cinemas, which was taken over by Cathay as the former went bust, and was reduced to 7 screens in 2001, John Little and Metro department stores, a Cold Storage supermarket, a Courts store and more than 250 specialty shops.

In late 2010, Causeway Point underwent a $72 million facelift lasting 30 months.[2] These renovation works were aimed to increase net property income by 22 per cent to $51.5 million.[3] During these renovation works, it added a dry playground on the 2nd floor and a wet playground on the 7th floor. The dry playground was demolished in late 2019, while the wet playground is closed until further notice, as of 2020.[4] The main food court was relocated from the 5th floor to the 4th floor as part of its tenant remixing works. John Little vacated the mall shortly before renovation works commenced and was replaced by newer stores. Major tenants include Cathay Cineplexes, Cold Storage, Metro, Food Republic, Bagus, Cotton On, Courts, Rubi Shoes, Sephora and Uniqlo.
