About this mall
Northpoint is located opposite Yishun MRT Station and next to Yishun Bus Interchange. Asset enhancement works to the mall was completed in early 2010 to refresh the mall and integrate it with its new wing, Northpoint 2. With a combined net lettable area of 235,536 sqf, the new integrated Northpoint boasts a mix of services and retail tenants such as the Yishun Public Library, Japanese themed food court Ishi Mura and Bakerzin, amongst others. Other tenants include Cold Storage, Harvey Norman, POPULAR Bookstore and Timeszone. The mall offers six retail levels of shopping (including two basement levels). It is connected to the Yishun bus interchange and is also linked to the Yishun MRT Station via a direct underground pedestrian underpass. Northpoint is the second largest mall in FCT’s portfolio with an aggregate net lettable area of 235,653 square feet. The mall consistently attracts high shopper traffic flow from the surrounding residential estate and schools.
The mall also features a new 5,400 sq ft multi-play wet and dry playground on its roof top. These specially imported play structures are designed to provide a fun and interactive play experience for children.
