White sands shopping mall –Singapore

LOCATION :
1 Pasir Ris Central St 3, INTRODUCTION :
Singapore 518457 White Sands was developed by OCBC Properties Pte Ltd and was the
first major mall to be opened in Pasir Ris in December 1996. Like a
typical suburban mall at the time, it had an Eng. Wah cinema,
Singapore's first Time zone arcade (the largest arcade in Singapore
as of that point), a food court, a John Little department store, a
Courts store, a Popular bookstore, the local post office, an NTUC
FairPrice supermarket and more than 60 specialty stores. In 1999,
due to declining patronage, the cinema and arcade were closed and
were replaced by retail outlets and the Pasir Ris Public Library
(which opened in October 2000) respectively. The mall was sold to
ARMF Pte Ltd in 2004.The mall did not undergo any major
renovations until 2007, when more stores were opened and its
facade was repainted blue. John Little was replaced by several
smaller stores,[3] and the food court was relocated to the 3rd floor,
taking up the space initially occupied by Courts. The entire carpark
at Basement 1 was converted to retail space and travelators were
installed to link it to Basement 2 and 3 carparks. The mall went
through another round of renovations in 2014 and reopened in May
2016,[4] with a new tenant mix, a new interior layout and an
enhanced blue facade.[5][6] The library was revamped,[7] the local
post office was relocated to level 5, and the bookstore relocated to
level 4. Currently, its main tenants are McDonald's, NTUC FairPrice,
