Tanjong Katong Complex in 2024 during renovations

Tanjong Katong Complex is a shopping complex in Geylang Serai, Singapore. Completed in 1982, the complex was the first air-conditioned shopping complex built by the Housing and Development Board and has since become known for servicing the Malay community in the area.

History

[edit | edit source]

Plans to build the complex was announced in 1980 by the Housing and Development Board.[1] The complex opened in 1983 and initially housed a supermarket named Yokoso, which was the anchor tenant.[2][3] The complex became known for servicing the Malay community in the area, particularly around Hari Raya, following the closure of the Geylang Serai Market.[4]

The Singapore Land Authority announced on 8 December 2021 that the complex would undergo major renovations from August 2023 to June 2026.[5][6] The renovations are a part of multiple redevelopments in the Geylang Serai done in an effort to make Geylang Serai a "culturally distinct precinct".[7] Several of the more iconic features of the complex, such as the slanted columns of the building facing Tanjong Katong Road, will be preserved.[8] Plans for the renovations include a new thoroughfare connecting to a new entrance at Sims Avenue and a rooftop F&B space.[9]
