AMK Hub (abbreviation for Ang Mo Kio Hub) is a suburban shopping mall located in Ang Mo Kio, within the North-East Region of Singapore. It is connected to Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange which is linked to Ang Mo Kio MRT station via an underpass. The shopping mall has 48,250 square metres of gross floor area and 350,000 square feet (33,000 m2) of retail space.[1]
History
[edit]Built on the former site of the old Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange and the Oriental Emporium (Block 701), the original AMK Hub was intended to be a mixed used development consisting of a residential development and an office tower with the new Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange on the ground level, set to be completed in 2004. However, shortly after demolition works to the old Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange, the old contractor went bust, thus the site remained abandoned for two years. Meanwhile, the Singapore Labour Foundation (the then owner of AMK Hub) made changes to the proposed development, from a mixed used development to a small shopping complex, which will host a hypermarket,[2] a new air-conditioned bus interchange, an 8-screen Cathay cineplex,[3] and more than 100 specialty shops. The mall opened in phases from December 2006 and was officially opened in July 2007 by then-Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Renovations
[edit]In the second half of 2018, the mall underwent some renovations, such as reconfiguring the layout of Basement 2 to expand the food hall, and the event space at Basement 1 as well. The upper floors were given an aesthetic upgrade as well, such as renovating the toilets and having a refreshed interior, coupled with a new tenant mix.
In July 2024, the entirety of Level 4, which comprised the cinema, arcade and other lifestyle tenants, was shuttered to make way for the new Ang Mo Kio Public Library, a ServiceSG centre and other civic and community offerings. Renovation works are currently underway, and is slated to be completed in 2026.[4][5] A food and beverage cluster was created on Level 1 in 2025, as compensation for the closure of the eateries formerly located at Level 4.
