History
As the first suburban mall back in 1992, it received a lot of publicity. As this is the first mall, it marked the first time some of these departmental stores or shops venturing to the New Towns. Shops or brand name like Cold Storage, John Little, Swensen's, Giordano, Guardian, Photo Finish, Mark and Spencer's and Toys R Us opened their first outlet in the heartland.
In 2001, Northpoint underwent a refurbishment programme which saw the interior flooring and signage being replaced.
In 2002, a 2-storey annex housing small eateries and retail outlets was opened on the site adjacent to the bus interchange. The annex was closed in 2007 to facilitate enhancement works.
A new extension to Northpoint was opened in October 2008 while a refurbishment and reconfiguration of the existing Northpoint and another further extension to Northpoint on the site of the former annex is completed.
Tenants
With a combined net lettable area of 235,536 sqf, the new integrated Northpoint boasts a mix of services and retail tenants such as the Yishun Public Library, Cantine, a new halal food court (open by February 2015) and Bakerzin, amongst others. Other tenants include Cold Storage, Harvey Norman, POPULAR Bookstore and Timezone.
