Located within The Light City, the sprawling lifestyle destination covers over 1.5 million sq ft across two phases, combining shopping, dining, and entertainment in one coastal precinct. Its waterfront setting also gives shoppers a scenic spot to take a breather between browsing stores and grabbing a bite.

The line-up is set to span everything from familiar local eats and international brands to casual cafes and waterfront dining spots. As more tenants join the mix, there’ll be even more reasons to drop by beyond the usual shopping run, especially if you fancy a meal with a view of the sea.

Just a girl with strong opinions on pop culture. Not a chef, but growing up with Gordon Ramsay if he's a 4'7 traditional Malay lady does have its benefits.
