Northpoint Shopping Centre (Chinese: 纳福坊) is the first major suburban shopping mall in Singapore, and was opened in November/December 1992.

Northpoint is conveniently located opposite the Yishun MRT Station and next to the Yishun bus interchange. It completed asset enhancement works in early 2010 to refresh the mall and integrate it with its new wing, Northpoint 2. With a combined net lettable area of 235,000 sq ft (21,800 m²), the enlarged Northpoint boasts a shop mix with exciting services and retail concepts such as the new Yishun Public Library, Japanese-themed food court Ishi Mura, Bakerzin and many more. Other popular tenants include Cold Storage, Harvey Norman, POPULAR Bookstore and Timezone.

A new feature is the large 5,400 sq ft (500 m²) rooftop water playground, designed to provide a fun and interactive experience for children with its water features, ground sprays and specially imported multi-play structures.

In May 2010, Northpoint won a bronze award in the BCA Universal Design Award for Built Environment 2010 - Refurbished Building Category. This award gives recognition to buildings which have good practices and take special efforts to raise awareness of the importance of providing seamless accessible built environment for all. Northpoint is also accredited with the Business for Families mark.

Diaper changing stations are available in all family rooms at every level.

Customer Service Counter is located at Level 2, next to Mayim Chinese Cuisine #02-01/05.

Free Wi-Fi access is provided by Wireless@SG.^[1]

History

As the first suburban mall back in 1992, it received a lot of publicity. As this is the first mall, it marked the first time some of these departmental stores or shops venturing to the New Towns. Shops or brand name like Cold Storage, John Little, Swensen's, Giordano, Guardian, Photo Finish, Mark and Spencer's and Toys R Us opened their first outlet in the heartland. Now it is common to see these outlets in the suburban areas.

In 2001, Northpoint underwent a refurbishment programme which saw the interior flooring and signage being replaced.

In 2002, a 2 storey annex housing small eateries and retail outlets was opened on the site adjacent to the bus interchange. The annex was closed in 2007 to facilitate enhancement works.

A new extension to Northpoint opened in October 2008 while a refurbishment and reconfiguration of the existing Northpoint and another further extension to Northpoint on the site of the former annex is ongoing and scheduled for completion in June 2009.

Tenants

The following is a list of existing and new tenants that are or will be located in the reconfigured existing Northpoint and its new extension, as at September 17, 2009.^[2] They are subject to change as new tenants enter and as existing tenants vacate or are relocated with the ongoing enhancement works at Northpoint.

Programmes

Northpoint has a monthly kids programme that engages kids through creative craft workshops.
