The ferry and cruise berth locations also remain unchanged.

HarbourFront Centre’s closure was first announced in October 2025 by owner and real estate firm Mapletree Investments, although no date was specified then other than it was slated for the second half of 2026. The mall will be redeveloped into a mixed-use building with an elevated park.

The new 33-storey building comprising office and retail spaces is expected to be completed by the first half of 2031.

The 123,000 sq m project will feature a 13,000 sq m elevated park located next to a newly created stretch of waterfront promenade.

The development will also offer bicycle parking and end-of-trip facilities to promote sustainable and green commuting via the coastal cycling network in the Greater Southern Waterfront.

HarbourFront Centre was opened in 2003 after a $30 million redevelopment of the former World Trade Centre, which was completed in 1978.
