History

As the first suburban mall back in 1992, it received a lot of publicity. As this is the first mall, it marked the first time some of these departmental stores or shops venturing to the New Towns. Shops or brand name like Cold Storage, John Little, Swensen's, Giordano, Guardian, Photo Finish, Mark and Spencer's and Toys R Us opened their first outlet in the heartland. Now it is common to see these outlets in the suburban areas.

In 2001, Northpoint underwent a refurbishment programme which saw the interior flooring and signage being replaced.

In 2002, a 2 storey annex housing small eateries and retail outlets was opened on the site adjacent to the bus interchange. The annex was closed in 2007 to facilitate enhancement works.

A new extension to Northpoint opened in October 2008 while a refurbishment and reconfiguration of the existing Northpoint and another further extension to Northpoint on the site of the former annex is ongoing and scheduled for completion in June 2009.

Tenants

The following is a list of existing and new tenants that are or will be located in the reconfigured existing Northpoint and its new extension, as at September 17, 2009. They are subject to change as new tenants enter and as existing tenants vacate or are relocated with the ongoing enhancement works at Northpoint.

Programmes

Northpoint has a monthly kids programme that engages kids through creative craft workshops.
