Orchard Road is set to undergo a facelift on 28 April.
The revamp is expected to be completed next February.
The S$40 million makeover will include state-of-the-art lighting to highlight Orchard Road’s tree-lined boulevard, new creative spaces for events and a new pedestrian mall.
Key events such as the annual Great Singapore Sale and Christmas In The Tropics will continue to be held in Orchard Road.
Singapore Tourism Board has given the assurance that customers can shop as usual, and that building owners and tenants will only be affected for an average of ten weeks throughout the ten-month development period.
