Bugis+ Reviews

Bugis+ (pronounced as Bugis Plus), formerly Iluma, is a 10-storey shopping mall located 5 minutes from Bugis MRT station. It is located within the Bugis district of Singapore and opened on 28 March 2009. Designed by WOHA, the facade of the mall plays with the theme of light and illumination, having high-tech features such as a light- and media facade designed by WOHA in conjunction with Berlin based media artists realities:united. The "crystal mesh" facade envelops the convex part of the building and brightly lit billboards will scatter across its flatter sides, unlike those in the Times Square. Its theme was inspired by its proximity to arts venues and tertiary institutions. The opening of Iluma in 2009, was greeted with much fanfare. However, after several months, tenants started complaining about the lack of patrons, even though it is located just beside the busy Bugis Street. The management tried to draw in patrons by calling in international artistes such as David Archuleta and Trace Bundy. Despite their efforts, the mall still had low patronage and many tenants were forced to shut down their stores. In 2011, CapitaMall Trust Management announced that they had acquired Iluma from Jack Investments for S$295 million. As part of the transfer, the mall was revamped in late 2011 and was completed in mid-2012. The mall was renamed as Bugis+. The bridge connecting Bugis Junction, which is also owned by CapitaMall Trust Management, that previously did not provide direct access to Bugis Junction, now provided seamless connection. In April 2012, CapitaMall announced that the mall will be renamed to Bugis+. On 8 June, Uniqlo, a Japanese casual wear retail chain, opened its biggest outlet in Singapore there. Try the Lao Wang! Very good dishes available. Fresh and healthy ingredients.

The smaller of two shopping centre in the bugis area. Four stories consisting of many eateries offering food from all parts of Asia. This place is not as crowded as Bugis Junction even though there is a bridge linking the two buildings.

It is a great mall to visit, with a large variety of Shopee and food to choose from! Shops range from clothes of different budgets, to electronics, or make up. The food variety here is also very big, you can find many cuisines and they are pretty affordable too. The infrastructure is good and the interior is pretty as well.

Decent shopping mall with a function toilet, one of the worst case scenarios in Singapore is the fact that hand drying is a nightmare in every Singapore toilet... But not this mall, paper and dryer are both well equipped. The aircon is okay but could be colder, they do have good selections of restaurants and stores that can't be fine elsewhere. Pros: Nice selection for dining Large enough There are exhibition time to time Clean Drop off for taxi and grab is good Toilet clean and well equipped Cons: Can't think of any

Massive mall but i feel is more of FnB / entertainment venue. Shopping is not bad but not great of a selection except JD n Uniqlo. Very spacious walkway unless is crowded day. Hai Di Lao, bbq, Korea pizza, ramen are on level 4. Worth checking it out.
