In 2018, the mall underwent its first major renovation works in preparation for the opening of Great World MRT station and new developments in the vicinity, which are slated to be completed by 2020. The exterior is currently undergoing some recladding works, along with reconfiguring the interior layout, such as having "dual level retail pods" in one of its atriums, and widening the walkways to improve accessibility. Food Junction was relocated to Level 3, taking up a portion of Amazonia's former space. Japanese supermarket chain Meidi-Ya opened in Basement 2, to complement the existing Cold Storage supermarket in 2019. The mall remained open throughout the renovation works, despite having disruptions to some areas. Renovations were completed in early 2020, with 70 new shops and restaurants. Later in 2020, Basement 2 will undergo reconfiguration works to link it to the entrance of Great World MRT station. [1]
