Bedok Point is located in the town centre of Bedok along #NewUpperChangi Road and near to the Bedok MRT station. It was built on the former site of Changi and #Bedoktheatres Changi theatre was one of four #cinemas 🍿 in Bedok. The other three are Bedok 1 and 2, Princess, and Liwagu. The #Changi was originally a one-screen theatre 🎥 which was later converted to three screens. As a result, the halls were cramped and not very spacious. Changi #theatre closed in 1999 because of low attendance, as patrons began flocking to the better #cineplex in the city. #bedokpoint was the first air-conditioned mall to open in #bedok in 2010, having a soft opening in December that year. There are four floors and two basement levels in the mall. It opened on April 26, 2011. There are 76 specialty tenants in the mall, including Harvey Norman and restaurants and cafes. As well as food outlets 🍔 there are several retail and entertainment outlets. #Frasers #Centrepoint Trust has been working on proactive leasing and repositioning strategies to stabilize Bedok Point's performance for several years. After #bedokmall opened, more retail options were available within the mall's catchment area, thereby increasing competition. Tenants 🗣 say Bedok Point's poor foot traffic made #redevelopment inevitable because it is farther from the MRT station 🚉 and bus interchange than Bedok mall. Bedok Mall has a larger and more diverse #shopping mall with residential facilities above, and is closer to the #BedokMRT station and bus 🚌 interchange than Bedok Point. @bedokpoint used to be more popular in the past, but now it remains a challenge, especially with the Covid19 pandemic. Because of its size and lack of access to key transportation hubs, it had limited potential to become a dominant mall in #Bedoktowncenter According to Frasers #Property ,Bedok Point will soon become a mixed-use development 🏗 It was announced on July 1, 2021, that the mall would be demolished and redeveloped into a #residential development with ground-floor commercial units. Therefore, we can expect a #newlaunch development to launch most probably this year. #bedokhomes #ronloh @fraserspropertyretail (at Bedok Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/CckmL9jJrG3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
