Yishun 10 cinema to close in March 2027
Singapore's historic Yishun 10 cinema complex is set to close in March 2027 to make way for a new mixed-use residential development. The site owner, Frasers Property, plans to incorporate community-focused initiatives to preserve the legacy of the long-standing entertainment venue.
Why it matters
The redevelopment reflects urban renewal trends in Singapore, balancing the need for new housing with the preservation of community heritage.
The cinema complex will cease operations in March 2027
[SINGAPORE] Singapore’s first cinema multiplex Yishun 10 will cease operations on Mar 2, 2027, to be redeveloped into a mixed-use development containing about 110 residential units.
The new development, targeted for completion by mid-2031, will also contain a retail podium at street level and a “landscaped facilities deck on the second storey”.
It will be the first residential launch in Yishun Central in more than a decade, said the cineplex’s owner Frasers Property on Wednesday (Sep 2).
The property developer will continue to manage Yishun 10 after its redevelopment.
Frasers Property bought the cineplex , located at 51 Yishun Central 1, from cinema operator Golden Village in June 2025. It then bought the 10 strata lots in the building from Frasers Centrepoint Trust – which it sponsors – for S$34.5 million.
