Kallang Wave Mall is undergoing its first major revamp since 2014, causing some store closures and a quieter atmosphere while remaining operational during phased renovations.

The mall's refresh, set to complete in 2028, will introduce new sports, wellness, lifestyle, and dining concepts, including an indoor climbing wall and fitness hubs.

Management shifted to CapitaLand Investment under government control to revitalise the mall and make the Singapore Sports Hub precinct more community-focused and accessible.

SINGAPORE – As Kallang Wave Mall undergoes its first major makeover since opening in 2014, the temporary closure of some stores, including the FairPrice Xtra supermarket, appears to have left the mall quieter.

Usually bustling on days when concerts are held at the nearby Singapore Indoor Stadium and National Stadium, the crowd at the mall was noticeably sparser when The Straits Times visited on Aug 27.

Several stores were shuttered on the first and second levels of the mall, with only a small weekday crowd at food and beverage outlets such as The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and bubble tea store Chicha San Chen. At the peak dinner hour, there were no queues at any restaurants.

A shop selling beauty and phone accessories in the mall was open but empty when ST visited.

“When there’s a concert, there’s still a crowd. But the crowd is here for their concert needs like food and beverages, not for shopping,” said an employee in the accessory shop, who declined to be named. She also asked for her shop not to be named.

“It’s been very quiet these days. You can see how business is for yourself – the foodcourt has closed and so has FairPrice,” she said, adding that she was unsure whether her shop would close temporarily.

Sportswear retailer Sports Fashion will remain open during the renovation period, said an employee who declined to be named.

Tenants that have relocated within the mall include Lorna Whiston Preschool, Key Power Sports, BMJ Physio & Sports Performance Clinic and Paco FunWorld , which reopened as Arcadia X.

FairPrice Xtra will also relocate. The supermarket, which closed in April, is currently undergoing renovation and will return with a refreshed concept, a spokesperson for the mall said.

Stores that exited the mall in August include Daiso, halal foodcourt My Kampung and Venusia Medical Aesthetics Clinic.

The asset enhancement works at Kallang Wave Mall are being carried out in phases, and the mall will remain open and operational throughout this period, said a mall spokesperson.

“As part of the works, some stores may temporarily close or relocate within the mall before reopening at a later date, while other spaces may be refreshed with new concepts as part of the mall’s updated tenant mix.”

Kallang Wave Mall opened in June 2014 as part of Singapore Sports Hub, which was renamed The Kallang in November 2025.

This is the mall’s first major refresh since 2014, said the mall spokesperson.

Slated for completion in 2028, the refresh aims to reposition the mall as an experiential sports and lifestyle retail destination. “Shoppers can look forward to a reimagined 21m indoor climbing wall, a new multi-sensory playscape, refreshed dining and community spaces, and a curated mix of sports, wellness, lifestyle and dining concepts,” the spokesperson said.

People of all ages were seen scaling the existing rock-climbing walls at the Climb Central indoor climbing gym, which will remain open during the revamp period, according to the brand’s Instagram page.

The mall will also have new offerings such as the New Balance Run Hub, an integrated fitness retail store, and a Mutts & Mittens’ purpose-built pet community hub.

Local brand ReFormd Group will open a gym with personal training services, a recovery centre with cold plunges and ice baths, and a retail section.

CapitaLand Investment was appointed by government-backed Kallang Alive Sport Management to manage Kallang Wave Mall for six years from April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2030, as part of plans to revitalise the Singapore Sports Hub retail experience.

This came after government agency Sport Singapore terminated its public-private partnership with a private consortium in December 2022, 13 years ahead of schedule.

The move gave it full control of the entire Singapore Sports Hub – including Kallang Wave Mall – enabling it to carry out plans to make the precinct more community-centric, integrated and accessible.

加冷波浪购物中心自 2014 年以来首次进行大规模翻新，期间部分店铺关闭，环境较为安静，但会分阶段进行翻新，期间仍将保持营业。

该购物中心的翻新工程预计将于 2028 年完成，届时将引入新的运动、健康、生活方式和餐饮理念，包括室内攀岩墙和健身中心。

管理权移交给了政府控制下的凯德集团，目的是振兴购物中心，使新加坡体育城区域更加以社区为中心，更加方便居民前往。

新加坡——加冷购物中心自 2014 年开业以来首次进行大规模翻新，一些商店（包括 FairPrice Xtra 超市）的暂时关闭似乎让购物中心变得安静了许多。

通常在附近的新加坡室内体育馆和国家体育场举办音乐会的日子里，商场里总是熙熙攘攘，但《海峡时报》记者 8 月 27 日到访时，商场里的人群明显稀少。

商场一楼和二楼的几家店铺都关门了，只有像The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf和奶茶店Chicha San Chen这样的餐饮店在工作日顾客寥寥。晚餐高峰时段，所有餐厅都没有排队。

ST 到访时，商场里一家销售美容产品和手机配件的商店开着门，但店内空无一人。

“有演唱会的时候，人还是很多。但他们来这里是为了买吃的喝的，而不是为了购物。”一位不愿透露姓名的饰品店店员说道。她也要求不要透露店铺名称。

“最近生意很冷清。你自己看看就知道了——美食广场关门了，FairPrice超市也关门了，”她说道，并补充说她不确定自己的店铺是否会暂时关闭。

一位不愿透露姓名的员工表示，运动服装零售商 Sports Fashion 将在装修期间继续营业。

搬迁到购物中心内的租户包括 Lorna Whiston Preschool、Key Power Sports、BMJ Physio & Sports Performance Clinic 和 Paco FunWorld（重新开业后更名为 Arcadia X）。

FairPrice Xtra超市也将搬迁。该超市于今年4月关闭，目前正在进行翻新，并将以全新的面貌重新开业，商场发言人表示。

8 月份撤出该商场的店铺包括大创百货、清真美食广场 My Kampung 和 Venusia 医学美容诊所。

加冷波浪购物中心的一位发言人表示，该购物中心的资产提升工程将分阶段进行，在此期间，购物中心将保持开放和运营。

“作为改造工程的一部分，一些商店可能会暂时关闭或在购物中心内搬迁，之后再择日重新开业；而其他空间可能会进行翻新，引入新的理念，作为购物中心租户组合更新的一部分。”

加冷波浪购物中心于 2014 年 6 月作为新加坡体育城的一部分开业，并于 2025 年 11 月更名为加冷购物中心。

商场发言人表示，这是该商场自 2014 年以来首次进行大规模翻新。

预计于2028年完工的翻新工程旨在将购物中心重新定位为集体验式运动和生活方式零售于一体的目的地。“顾客可以期待焕然一新的21米室内攀岩墙、全新的多感官游乐场、焕然一新的餐饮和社区空间，以及精心打造的运动、健康、生活方式和餐饮概念组合，”发言人表示。

据该品牌的 Instagram 页面显示，在 Climb Central 室内攀岩馆翻新期间，各个年龄段的人都可以看到他们攀爬现有的攀岩墙。

该购物中心还将推出一些新项目，例如 New Balance Run Hub（一家综合健身零售店）和 Mutts & Mittens 专门建造的宠物社区中心。

本地品牌 ReFormd Group 将开设一家提供私人教练服务的健身房、一家设有冷水池和冰浴的康复中心以及一个零售区。

凯德集团投资公司受政府支持的加冷活力体育管理公司委任，从 2024 年 4 月 1 日至 2030 年 3 月 31 日期间管理加冷波浪购物中心，为期六年，这是振兴新加坡体育城零售体验计划的一部分。

此前，新加坡政府机构新加坡体育理事会于 2022 年 12 月终止了与一家私人财团的公私合作关系，比原计划提前了 13 年。

此举使其完全掌控了整个新加坡体育城（包括加冷波浪购物中心），从而能够实施相关计划，使该区域更加以社区为中心、更加一体化和更加便利。
