Suntec City Mall (Chinese: 新达城广场) is a shopping centre in Singapore, located within the Marina Centre subzone of the Downtown Core Planning Area. Opened in 1995 together with initial phases of the Suntec City development, it was the largest shopping centre in Singapore with 888,000 square feet (82,500 m²) of retail space until the opening of VivoCity in 2006. It also offers a club house called the Suntec City Guild House located on the fifth storey.

[edit] Popularity

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) mentioned Suntec City as one of the largest commercial developments in Singapore.^[1]
Suntec City was awarded two FIABCI Prix d' Excellence awards for excellence in all aspects of real estate development (Overall winner and Commercial / Retail winner) in 1999.^[2] Suntec has claimed other prizes,^[3] including the 1998 Tourism Award from the Singapore Tourism Board.
Suntec City has featured three times on The Amazing Race reality television show. Once on the US version Season 3 and twice on the Asian version in both Season 1 and Season 2.^[4]
At the centre of Suntec City lies the Fountain of Wealth, which Suntec claims to be the largest fountain in the world^[5]; this claim has however been contested, with Fountain Hills in Arizona also claiming the title. The Guinness World Records has recently withdrawn the "Largest Fountain" category from its website.

[edit] Design

Suntec City was designed by Tsao & McKown Architects with emphasis on Chinese geomancy (feng shui). The five buildings and the convention center are arranged so that they look like a left hand when viewed aerially. The Fountain of Wealth appears like a golden ring in the palm of the hand. As the fountain is made of bronze, it is believed that the balance of metal and water paves the way for success. Further, the specially selected Chinese name, 新达, means "new achievement".^[6]^[7]

[edit] Zoning

The large size of the mall boasts some 360 outlets spread over 3 floors in an L-shaped configuration. To help shoppers to navigate around the mall, it was divided into four zones, namely:

The Galleria (Chinese: 画廊区), located on the ground floor of the Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre, offering high-end international labels targeted specifically at convention delegates and tourists.

The Tropics (Chinese: 热带区) offers a more wide-ranging choice of outlets for a wider budget range, with added emphasise on lifestyle merchandise and services.

The Fountain Terrace (Chinese: 喷泉区) is located around the Fountain of Wealth, and specialises in food and beverage outlets.

The Entertainment Centre (Chinese: 娱乐区) at the north-eastern end of the mall is dedicated to entertainment-related tenants such as a 5-theatre cineplex, a fitness centre, a gaming arcade, as well as the site of Carrefour's first outlet in Singapore, occupying 13,006 square metres (140,000 square feet) over two floors.
