🟫 Scotts Square is a shopping mall located along Scotts Road in the Orchard Road vicinity. The mall is branded as a high-end boutique mall.
🟦 Scotts Square first opened in 1982. The former older mall ( before demolition) occupied the first five floors. 🟨 Back then in the 1980s, above the mall was a 23-storey serviced apartment complex known as The Ascott.
🟧 In 2004, The Ascott Group sold the entire building to Wheelock Properties (then known as Marco Polo Developments) for S$345 million, but continued to manage the serviced apartments till Dec 2006.
🟫 The shopping mall, previously under the management of CapitaLand Retail, was then transferred to Wheelock Properties.
🟦 In 2006, Wheelock Properties demolished the entire building and re-developed it as a luxury residential development of 43-floors, of which 3 floors would be an upmarket shopping mall. 🟧The mall was demolished in 2007.
🟫 Development on the new building, known as Scotts Square, began in 2007 and was completed in 2011. 😊 What you see currently is the new mall.
