CapitaMalls Asia's Westgate and Bedok Mall slated to open this week

Santa will come early this Christmas.

Two malls by CapitaMalls Asia are set to open in Singapore this December. 

Westgate, a family and lifestyle mall located in Jurong East, will open its doors to shoppers on 2 December 2013. It will assemble an exciting array of fashion, lifestyle and F&B offerings under one roof, bringing brands that used to be the exclusive domain of shopping malls in town to the west of Singapore.

The seven-storey mall from Basement 2 to Level 5 houses more than 250 brands over a net lettable area of 410,000 square feet, similar to Raffles City Singapore’s retail area.

It is strategically located in the heart of the up-and-coming Jurong Gateway precinct, and is the only development with direct connections to both the Jurong East MRT and bus interchanges.

Meanwhile, Bedok Mall, the first major shopping mall in Bedok located right in the heart of the town centre, will be welcoming shoppers on 3 December 2013 with a series of festive promotions and activities.

The 220,000-square foot mall – about the size of Junction 8 – has about 200 shops spread across three floors from Basement 2 to Level 1. All units have been leased ahead of the mall’s opening.

Basement 2 of the mall will house everyday essentials, including FairPrice Finest, Popular, Home-Fix, Japan Home, Guardian and Watsons.

This level has also assembled an array of quick bites to serve shoppers on the go, such as Gong Cha, Ho Kee Bao, Hong Kong Sheng Kee Dessert, Hot Star Large Fried Chicken, Smoothie King and Yoshinoya.
