TEKKA Mall will be relaunched as The Verge, according to owner Corwin Holdings yesterday.
The five-year-old mall, which is undergoing renovation, will become an IT, lifestyle and F&B hub so as to reposition itself to attract the right tenants and the right shoppers, with a better-defined identity.
The Verge: The five-year-old mall, which is undergoing renovation, will become an IT, lifestyle and F&B hubA heavy emphasis has been put on the new hub-like nature of the mall by the name, which is derived from 'convergence'.
Both its facade and the interior are being refurbished to give it a fresh look.
The renovation, which began early this year, is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter. It is being done in phases to avoid interfering with existing tenants' business, and customers' comfort.
More than 100 shops will be spread out on eight levels in the revamped mall, and Banquet has been selected as the food court provider for The Verge.
An adjoining block is also undergoing a makeover to become Chill @ The Verge, which will be dedicated to attracting the younger set by only having entertainment and F&B outlets. The block is expected to be completed by mid-2009.
Knight Frank Shopping Centre Management Pte Ltd has been appointed by Corwin Holding as the new managing agent and sole marketing agent for the 160,000 sq ft mall.
