VivoCity one of the world's top 10 malls
SHOPAHOLICS here can now boast about shopping at a world-class shopping mall.
VivoCity has been voted as one of the world's top 10 retail destinations by retail trade publication Shopping Center News (India).
The mall shares the honour with big names like The Dubai Mall and London's Covent Garden.
Shopping Center News (India) sought the views of industry players to identify the top 10 malls, which were listed in no particular order. The trade publication hopes that these malls would serve as models to spur India's shopping centres, it said in a press statement.
Casting a vote in support of VivoCity was Mr Anuj Puri, chairman and country head of Jones Lang LaSalle India, a global real-estate services firm.
He said that VivoCity's launch in 2006 put other Singapore malls "in the shade", and added that the mall "has all the ingredients of an ultimate shopping destination... The view of Sentosa Island is spectacular, and a guaranteed footfall draw at any time of the year".
Some of VivoCity's winning features include its family- friendly children's playground and wading pool, its roof-top amphitheatre and its 300m promenade.
Mr Chang Yeng Cheong, general manager of VivoCity, said: "We are encouraged and excited that India's retailers and shopping-mall operators see VivoCity as a global benchmark and model to emulate.
