SengkangNankin Mall is a shopping arcade at the pedestrianized Nankin Street. Located at the boundary between Chinatown and the Financial District of Singapore, Nankin Mall is housed in restored Straits Eclectic shophouses. The houses have been gentrified. Their interiors are often gutted out and readapted for modern retail use.
Nankin Street has been tiled over and turned into a pedestrian zone. It is one of the old streets of Singapore, having appeared in Stamford Raffles' Jackson Plan of 1822 for Singapore. It was of course named after the city of Nanjing in China. On the 1822 map, it appeared as Nankeen Street.
The outlets at Nankin Mall are mostly eateries, from restaurants to pubs and bistros. Their clientele comprises mostly white-collar workers of the Financial District.
Nankin Street used to extend west beyond South Bridge Road, as Upper Nankin Street, until New Bridge Road. That section, though still visible as the passage between Hong Lim Complex and Fook Hai Building, has similarly been pedestrianized.
