New Mall...New hope?

Singapore welcomes her latest new mall...right opposite Sentosa Island, admist bustling sealanes and port. It is reputed to be the only big mall in neighbourhood areas, although how much of Harbour Front area is a neghbourhood area is unknown.

Singapore being Singapore, has a very finicky passangers. They want something new, and they expect something new every few years, some even every few months. So when VivoCity came along, and hot on its heel several years behind is the Marina Bay Intergrated Resort and Sentosa Intergrated Resort, things can get very boring very fast. Now, two weeks into its operation here in Harbour Front, the majority of the outlets has yet to open. All of them walled up behind sanitised white partitions with posters advertising the coming outlets. And from the looks of things, assuming that all the outlets are up and running, it is even bigger than Suntec City Mall and Raffles Place combined. Add to that access to the sea overlooking Sentosa Island, AND easy access TO Sentosa, VivoCity looks set to be Singaporean's next second best friend...after Orchard Road.

Here's hope for it not to become a pretty white elephant.
