FCT to turn Causeway Point’s former cinema space into reading hub in mall revamp
An asset-enhancement initiative is slated to start in Q2 2027 and be completed by end-2029
FCT plans to transform the former cinema space at Causeway Point into a 32,000 square foot community reading hub in a mall revamp. The initiative, part of the Asset-Enhancement Initiative (AEI), will span from Q2 2027 to end-2029. The reading hub, developed in collaboration with the National Library & Archives Board (NLB), is set to open in 2028 and occupy parts of the mall's sixth and seventh floors.
It will feature a large collection of pre-loved books, a showcase of Singapore literature, a children's play area, and an indoor theatre. The project is funded under the Urban Redevelopment Authority's Community/Sports Facilities Scheme, with NLB covering operating costs. Metro, Causeway Point's largest tenant, may adopt a different retail format after the revamp.
Causeway Point is located near the Woodlands MRT station and bus interchange, and is situated near the upcoming Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link, aligning with FCT's goal to capitalize on growth in northern Singapore.
