A stretch of shophouses with a unique yet inviting charm. A bustling yet cosy community. My first impression of Katong was that I felt like I wasn’t even in Singapore.
The area felt like a tranquil neighbourhood with a distinctive allure; a different facet of Singapore that I never truly got to know. Amidst these shophouses, a tall building stood out. Image via Keyla Supharta.
This tall building is i12 Katong - a seven-storey shopping mall located in the heart of Katong. Surrounded by lanes of shophouses, the grand facade of the mall was what first caught my attention. Upon entering it, i12 Katong seemed like a regular mall in Singapore.

For the upcoming June holidays, i12 Katong will be having a series of interesting pop-up activities for visitors to enjoy. Here’s what you can look forward to. From May 20 to Jun.
30, 2024, i12 Katong will be having a series of fun-filled engagements, offering unlimited excitement and new experiences, better known as the “Festival of F.U.N!”.
One of these activities is Sk8terMania, taking place from Jun. 7 to 17. There will be an indoor roller skating rink set up at the Atrium on those dates.
