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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
