Residents of Bukit Panjang will have a new mall when Hillion Mall opens for business on Feb 24. The development, which will have a two-storey retail podium and two retail basement floors, is part of an integrated development and transport hub that will cater to more than 220,000 residents and 760,000 commuters.

The mall, developed by Sim Lian Group and Sim Lian Development, has a net lettable area of 174,730 sq ft. Over 90% or more than 100 retail shops have been taken up. According to Sim Lian Group, about 30% of the mall will be dedicated to F&B, and almost 45% of the retail space will be allocated to lifestyle stores.

The mall will offer Bukit Panjang residents a range of cuisines, from Japanese to Szechuan, anchor brands such as FairPrice, which will be open 24 hours, and food court operator Kopitiam.

The mall is located below the 546-unit Hillion Residences, accessible via lifts from the shopping area. It is also directly connected to the Bukit Panjang MRT station via an underpass. The Bukit Panjang LRT station is nearby, as is a bus interchange.

Hillion Residences has three residential blocks and a site area of 204,000 sq ft, with a land tenure of 99 years. Units range from one-bedders from 463 sq ft, to penthouses of 2,616 sq ft or more.

The mall obtained its Temporary Occupation Permit last Dec 30, while the residential portion is expected to be completed by September 2018.
