Background

The mall opened in October 1997 on the site of the previous building, the old Orchard Cinema, which was torn down in 1994.

The youth-oriented mall houses a mix of food and beverage outlets, fashion shops and a hair salon. It also includes an indoor trampoline park on Level 9. [1]

Cathay Cineplex operated 12 movie screens in the mall but closed down on 30 June 2023. Golden Village and The Projector launched a new collaboration, Golden Village x The Projector (GVxTP), to take over the cinema space in the mall. [2] The collaboration will feature three Golden Village-branded halls and three The Projector-branded halls. [2]

The building has won accolades such as the "SIA-ICI (Singapore Institute of Architects - ICI Paints) Colour Award" for its creative use of colours in its building design. Two of its cinemas (Halls 3 and 6) were voted Singapore's best screens in a survey conducted by The Straits Times in April 1998. In another survey by Ad Post, readers voted Cathay Cineplex Orchard their "Favourite Cinema in Singapore". [3]
