-- Kallang Wave Mall is embarking on an extensive asset enhancement initiative (AEI) to transform it into an experiential sport and lifestyle retail destination at The Kallang. The AEI will include inviting new community spaces, refreshed façades, upgraded alfresco dining areas along the Stadium Park Connector, and a new 24-hour through-block link corridor for greater connectivity within the precinct. Shoppers can also look forward to sport and lifestyle concepts that reflect the lively spirit of The Kallang.
The mall, which is an integral part of The Kallang and managed by CapitaLand Investment (CLI), will continue to operate throughout the phased AEI which commences from May 2026, with completion targeted for 2028.
OCBC Square will be refreshed with an exciting tenant lineup and a welcoming plaza for community events
Mr Quek Swee Kuan, Chief Executive Officer, The Kallang Group, said: “The transformation of Kallang Wave Mall represents a leap forward in our vision for The Kallang to be Singapore’s epicentre of excitement and the destination of choice for sport, entertainment, lifestyle and community events in Asia Pacific. This asset enhancement extends beyond infrastructural upgrading. We are shaping the way people experience sport, entertainment, lifestyle and community as one seamless, integrated journey. By building open, inclusive and dynamic spaces that invite connection and discovery, we’re creating a vibrant destination with a renewed energy and sense of place. This is the spirit of The Kallang; a place that inspires everyone who comes here to connect, celebrate and truly Feel Alive.“
Mr Ervin Yeo, Chief Executive Officer, Commercial Management, CLI, said: “We are reimagining Kallang Wave Mall as a top-of-mind destination that energises, inspires and connects people. Drawing on CLI’s deep expertise in commercial management and experiential placemaking across our retail and workspace properties, we are curating a mix of sports, lifestyle, dining and community-led experiences that brings The Kallang’s ‘ Feel Alive’ spirit to life. Kallang Wave Mall comprises both a box component and outdoor waterfront commercial spaces. The rejuvenated mall will be more than a mall; it will be a destination where locals and visitors will want to visit to connect with The Kallang’s energy.”
Adrenaline meets energy in reimagined spaces
An iconic feature since Kallang Wave Mall opened in 2014, the climb wall will be reimagined to further strengthen the mall’s appeal as a must-visit destination for climbing enthusiasts. Standing at 21-metres tall, the new wall with elements of real rock walls will be one of Southeast Asia’s tallest indoor climbing walls. Its apex will rise to approximately 10 metres above the mall’s roofline, rewarding adventurous climbers who reach the summit with picturesque, expansive views of The Kallang and the Kallang Basin. Operated by Climb Central, the new facility will also introduce bouldering walls, completing a comprehensive range of climbing offerings for both new and experienced climbers.
On the rooftop of the mall, a new padel ecosystem will be created, featuring six sheltered competition-ready courts for both casual and competitive play. Additionally, a new multi-sensory playscape will replace the existing water playground. The enhanced area will feature an engaging water play experience with larger-than-life installations and a kinetic dry play zone. Together, these enhancements will create a distinctive, dynamic space for children and their families.
To further support active lifestyles, an end-of-trip facility will be introduced to cater to cyclists and users of the Stadium Park Connector and Kallang Basin. Equipped with bike parking, bag storage, and shower facilities, the space will allow visitors to conveniently pause or conclude their exercise route at Kallang Wave Mall.
Operated by Climb Central, the new climbing facility will feature bouldering walls and one of the tallest climb walls in Southeast Asia. New and experienced climbers are welcomed
Experiential retail centred on community-building
As a destination mall, Kallang Wave Mall will bring experiential retail to life with a refreshed lineup.
Visitors arriving from Stadium MRT will be welcomed by revitalised shopfront facades along OCBC Square, including an LED screen capable of projecting 3D anamorphic displays. Within the mall, curated tenant offerings with a focus on community engagement will complete the refreshed experience.
New to the mall will be homegrown lifestyle and wellness company, ReFormd Group. They will debut a 360-degree high impact and science-backed fitness, wellness and recovery concept at the mall. Catering to diverse needs and lifestyles of modern active users, the concept will include a full fledge gym with personal training services, a recovery centre with cold plunges and ice baths, and a retail section.
Runners at The Kallang can look forward to the New Balance Run Hub, a community flagship store envisioned as a focal point for Singapore’s running community. Beyond retail, the Run Hub will offer runner-centric amenities, regular training sessions with experts and run specialists, and a calendar of running-related events. These initiatives are designed to bring together seasoned athletes and casual runners through regular interactions and shared experiences.
A performance-led flagship retail concept by Key Power Sports featuring XTEP and familiar favourites 2XU and Speedo will add to the mall’s sport offerings. Designed as more than just a retail space, these concepts integrate shopping with community-driven programming such as regular training sessions and sports clinics focused on improving performance.
With its open spaces and proximity to park connectors, Kallang Wave Mall is further strengthening its appeal to pet owners. Mutts & Mittens will establish a purpose-built, all-in-one pet community hub along the park connector. The concept will include a pet pool, boarding and training facilities, grooming services, a bakery and a retail section. Leveraging on its location, Mutts and Mittens looks to organise weekend programmes such as dog sports and training classes, community pet walks and competitions to bring the community together.

New experiential retail offerings centred on sports, lifestyle and community-led experiences will be introduced

Elevating everyday experiences
The transformation of Kallang Wave Mall will extend beyond sports, fitness and wellness. Curated gastronomic dining concepts and thematic alfresco dining settings by the waterfront will form part of the mall’s expanded offerings. Patrons can look forward to a variety of dining options, from cafes and family-friendly restaurants to unique bistro-pub concepts for socialising after work or a workout.
Facility closures and mall tenant changes during the enhancement period
A few facilities around the precinct will be temporarily closed or relocated to facilitate the phased AEI. These changes are part of the roadmap to safely and efficiently upgrade the mall while reducing impact on visitors.
- Splash-N-Surf is closed for renovation works to make way for a new rooftop wet and dry playscape. The new playscape is expected to reopen in 1Q 2027.
- Singapore Sports Museum is closed and will reopen in 3Q 2027 as a refreshed, experience-led attraction bringing Singapore’s sporting stories to life.
