It has been a while, but One Holland Village mall has finally opened.
The hub is conveniently accessible, being close to Holland Village MRT Station and several bus services, and connected to major expressways.
Something interesting is that the mall seems ‘borderless’ with no real entrance, designed to integrate shops with open community spaces.
It is also a pet-friendly destination with features catering specifically to pet owners and their furry companions.
There are quite a number of open-air spaces with multiple courtyards, pet-friendly water coolers, pet lifts for easy accessibility, and leash hooks outside shops.
The mall also includes familiar restaurants like Ippudo, Sushi Tei and Surrey Hills Grocer, as well as new dining experiences at Fireplace by Bedrock and Ginkyō by Kinki.
You may not need to hurry down yet as some of the F&Bs will only be opened at 2024. But here’s what you can look forward to when the restaurants and cafes eventually open:
