Suntec City is a commercial development in the Marina Centre area of the Downtown Core Planning Area of Singapore. It comprises the Suntec City Mall, five office skyscrapers and the Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Suntec City is located in Singapore Postal District 01.
The Suntec City Mall was the largest shopping mall in Singapore when it opened in 1995. Today it is the second biggest behind VivoCity. It has 888,000 square feet of retail space and houses some 360 retail outlets within its L-shaped configuration. The mall is divided into four zones namely:
The Suntec Galleria, which is on the ground floor of the Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre, offering high-end international labels targeting convention delegates and tourists.
The Suntec Tropics, offering lifestyle merchandise and services for a wider spectrum of shoppers.
The Suntec Fountain Terrace, the food and beverage zone located around the Fountain of Wealth.
The Suntec Entertainment Centre, on the northeastern end of the mall, housing the cineplex, fitness centre and gaming arcade, among others. The first Carrefour outlet in Singapore is also located here, occupying 140,000 square feet of space.
Suntec City was designed by Tsao & McKown Architects. Its design pays special attention to the Chinese belief in feng shui or geomancy. The five high-rise office blocks are arranged to form the palm of a hand, at the centre of which is the Fountain of Wealth, designed to resemble a gold ring within the palm of the hand.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
