Kallang Wave Mall quieter amid major revamp, new sports and lifestyle offerings due by 2028
Several stores were shuttered on the first and second levels of the mall
Kallang Wave Mall is currently undergoing a major revamp, resulting in some stores closing and relocating within the mall. As of August 2025, the mall appears quieter compared to its usual bustling state, especially during concerts held nearby at the Singapore Indoor Stadium and National Stadium. Several stores, such as the FairPrice Xtra supermarket, have been temporarily closed, with only a small crowd seen at food and beverage outlets like The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and bubble tea store Chicha San Chen.
An employee from an accessory shop at the mall noted that the atmosphere is quieter now, as people visit the mall primarily for concert-related needs, not for shopping.
The mall is set to remain operational throughout the renovation period, with some stores temporarily closing or moving to different locations. New offerings slated for 2028 include a 21-meter indoor climbing wall, a multi-sensory playscape, refreshed dining and community spaces, and a mix of sports, wellness, lifestyle, and dining concepts.
The mall's new tenants will include Sportswear retailer Sports Fashion, Lorna Whiston Preschool, Key Power Sports, BMJ Physio & Sports Performance Clinic, and Arcadia X (previously Paco FunWorld). Additionally, the mall will feature new concepts such as the New Balance Run Hub, a gym with personal training services from ReFormd Group, and a pet community hub called Mutts & Mittens.
