History[edit]
Built on the former site of theCapitol Centreas the part of Capitol Singapore development by Capitol Investment Holdings,[1]theCapitol Piazzawas partially opened in late March 2015.[2]The two storey mall with four basements consists of the following sections: an Open Plaza, an Arcade, the Galleria and Neue.[3]The complex's hotel, The Capitol Kempinski is housed in the former Stamford House and Capitol Theatre buildings. Previously destined open asPontiac Land-branded "Patina Singapore", theJaya Ibrahim-designed hotel suffered significantly delays in opening due to owner-related disputes.[4][5]The hotel finally opened as The Capitol Kempinski, three years after its completion, after a 528 million Singapore Dollar buyout of the property by shareholder, Perennial Holdings.[6]
Several notable food and beverage outlets were opened at the mall. The mall was also the place where theFinnishfashion storeMarimekkoand theSpanishshoe storeCarmina Shoemakeropened their first stores in Singapore in late March and July 2015 respectively.[7]However, most of them had since closed down prior to the mall's upcoming renovation in late 2019.
In 2020, Capitol Piazza was renovated and renamed to Capitol Singapore.
