History
Developed by First Capital Corporation Ltd (now Guocoland), Century Square was opened in July 1995 with 63 tenants. It was one of the first shopping malls in Tampines, the other is Tampines Mall. The mall featured a K-MART department store (later replaced by Metro), a privately run Century Cineplex managed by Shaw Theatres, Food Junction, SAFE Superstore, and a Shop N Save supermarket. 9 years later, it was sold to AsiaMalls Management Pte Ltd (ARMF Pte Ltd).
Century Square underwent a minor renovation under the new management. In 2007, Metro closed its doors and was replaced by BHG. Many new stores and brands were added along with a refreshed tenant mix by taking up a portion of Metro's former premises, thus becoming a ladies focused mall.
The mall did not underwent any major renovations until August 2017, when it closed its doors for a nine-month extensive refurbishment from September 2017 till June 2018. The building's facade was modernised, and a change in interior layout due to BHG leaving the mall. A roof garden was added on Level 5. New tenants include cinema operator Filmgarde, Mahota Market, childcare centre operator The Orange Academy and restaurants Hai Di Lao Hotpot, Green Signature Vegetarian, The Meathouse by Eighteen Chefs and Boon Tong Kee having its first shopping mall outlet. Returning tenants include Soup Restaurant, Virtualand and Food Junction, now operating as The Food Market. Hotwind also opened second outlet at Century Square just after one at 313 @ Somerset. It also marks the return of boutique label M)Phosis after a two-year hiatus in Singapore.[1][2][3]
