Funan (GPS: 1.29154, 103.84992) is a shopping mall in Singapore. It occupies a city block between North Bridge Road and Hill Street, and has entrances on both sides. Funan officially opened to the public in 28 June, 2019, replacing the now demolished Funan DigitaLife Mall. Funan is owned by CapitaLand and managed by CapitaMalls Asia. It has a retail space of 269,806 sqft over 6 floors. The now demolished Funan DigitaLife Mall, also called Funan The IT Mall or simply Funan Centre, was one of the first major shopping malls in Singapore to be located outside the Orchard Road shopping belt. The mall opened in 1985 and was originally called Funan Centre. It became one of the two choice malls for electronics and IT-related products, the other being Sim Lim Square. But while Sim Lim Square caters to the general consumers, Funan DigitaLife Mall positioned itself as being slightly more upscale.

The retail area of Funan DigitaLife Mall covered six levels. It had a total of 178 stores. The anchor tenant was Challenger Superstore, a local brand of IT retailer. Other tenants include Harvey Norman and Cold Storage supermarket.

Due to dwindling business, the mall's owner, CapitaLand decided upon a complete makeover which requires the demolition of the original building, and replacing it with a new shopping mall with a condominium block and two office tower blocks. The original building was demolished in 2016, and the new building opened to business as Funan in June 2016.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
