The integrated new launch Pasir Ris 8 has achieved a significant milestone with the completion and opening of its retail component, Pasir Ris Mall, on July 22. This new shopping destination features over 150 retail and dining outlets across four floors, including notable tenants such as Cantine by Kopitiam food court, Cold Storage supermarket, Challenger, Heguru Education Centre, MindChamps Preschool outlet, etc.
The opening of Pasir Ris Mall marks the beginning of a series of progressive completions planned for the area. By the end of 2024, a polyclinic is scheduled to open, further enhancing the community's healthcare accessibility. The mall's connectivity will be significantly improved in 2025 with the completion of a new bus interchange, forming part of the Pasir Ris Integrated Transport Hub. This hub will eventually incorporate the future Cross Island MRT Line, boosting the area's public transportation options.
The development's Town Plaza, a sheltered communal space, is set for completion by 2026. The Central Greenway pathway will also be constructed in phases, eventually directly connecting the mall Pasir Ris Park and the beach. To support this green initiative, Pasir Ris Mall will offer end-of-trip facilities, including bicycle parking and shower areas, encouraging eco-friendly commuting.
Pasir Ris 8 is a joint venture between Allgreen Properties and Kerry Properties. The partners secured the 409,068 sq ft white site on Pasir Ris Drive 8 through an HDB tender in 2019, with a bid of nearly $700 million or $685 psf per plot ratio. This development is a key component of HDB's Remaking Our Heartland programme, aimed at refreshing the Pasir Ris town centre.
The integrated development comprises seven residential blocks atop a podium that houses the retail mall and a car park. Its strategic location overlooks a new town plaza and offers direct connectivity to the integrated transport hub. This hub will feature an air-conditioned bus interchange set for completion next year, and the existing Pasir Ris MRT Station will become an interchange with the future Cross Island Line.
Pasir Ris 8 represents a significant step in transforming Pasir Ris, offering residents and visitors a blend of modern amenities, improved connectivity, and community-focused spaces. As the various components of this integrated development come to fruition over the next few years, Pasir Ris 8 is poised to become a vibrant focal point for the community, embodying the vision of HDB's town centre refresh initiative.
