Northpoint Shopping Centre (Chinese: 纳福坊) is the first major suburban shopping mall in Singapore, and was opened in Nov/ Dec 1992. The shopping centre serves the residents of Yishun New Town and it is located across Yishun Avenue 2 from Yishun MRT Station, accessible via an underpass.
As the first suburban mall, 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, Giodarno, 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.
The shopping mall underwent refurbishment in 2001 when signage, interior fittings and flooring were changed. An annex was also opened in 2002. It is managed by Frasers Centrepoint, previously known as Centrepoint Properties.
