That's Capitalmalls for you. If you've been to one of the malls managed by Capitalmalls, you can roughly figure out the layout and tenants of the others. Cookie-cutter and formulaic.

And right now, those real estate jackals are plotting to 'transform' Sim Lim Square into another 'mixed use development'. I saw this coming many years ago.
 
Not surprise at all....Funan The IT Mall and Funan DigitaLife Mall were the old mall names, now simply FUNAN...take a look at ghost mall sim lim square..the cafeteria at weekends have more business than most shops except for a few old popular shops that are still around...
 
In this day and age there is simply not enough demand to sustain an IT themed major shopping mall in Singapore. Even if the mall operator was someone other than Capitaland, it would only be a matter of time before the mall is repurposed.

Sim Lim is a classic example, even though it is strata titled owned, the number of real IT shops keep decreasing every year and it has to either transform itself to something else or just see vacancy go up every year.
 
Miss the Funan of the 1980s.

At the top floor at the food court, there used to be a family stall relocated from Hock Lam Street selling very delicious beef ball, thin bee hoon soup.

Since the 1st makeover, it has disappeared.

I have been trying to look for it since then without success.

Anyone knows where it went to?
 
When i was a young chap, i go there for Carona chicken stall. Yummy fried spring chicken.

The next mall to fall under the mixed use fiasco is Queensway shopping center.

If you want to have a sneak peek of what 'mixed use' entails: NeWest @ Hong Leong Garden and ARC 380 (junction of Jalan Besar and Lavender Street).

It's just sad and pathetic.
