The first two levels of the two tower blocks of Gurney Paragon are occupied by food and beverage outlets including The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Wong Kok Restaurant, Petite Millie French restaurant, Brussels Beer Cafe, T.G.I Friday's, Pacific Coffee Company and Goku Raku Ramen.
A public square affording an expansive view of the Gurney Drive waterfront is between the tower blocks in front of St Jo's. It will be part of a new Gurney Paragon pedestrian mall that will stretch past the St Joseph's Novitiate building to the Gurney Paragon Mall that is presently under construction.

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.
