The Rail Mall
The Rail Mall, or just Rail Mall, is a strip mall located at Upper Bukit Timah Road, Singapore. The Rail Mall is located nearby the Rail Corridor and the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.[1][2][3]
History
In 1994, Lee Rubber subsidiary, Singapore Engineers, spent S$5.00 million to renovate it and turn it into a neighbourhood centre.[4] In 2008, The Rail Mall was revamped again to try to position it as a food and lifestyle hub for the West.[4] In 2018, The Rail Mall was put up for sale and SPH Reit had agreed to purchase The Rail Mall for S$63.24 million.[4][5][6][2]
In 2019, The Rail Mall commissioned Singaporean freelance artist, Yip Yew Chong, to paint a wall mural on the entrance of the strip.[1] The mural features the last wild tiger shot in Singapore and the Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM), the last train to enter Singapore through the old railway station.[1][2]
