The redevelopment of IPC will see its interior complete with Scandinavian touches

Shoppers can look forward to the newly completed Phase one of the IPC Shopping Centre’s, LG1 and LG2 that opened last Saturday.

The mall has been under redevelopment since March 2017, with the purpose of strengthening its market presence.

“This redevelopment is part of our plan to future proof the centre, and we’re not afraid to make changes to achieve what we believe in, a bigger, brighter, and greener future for us and our shoppers,” IKEA Southeast Asia Shopping Centre director Thomas Malmberg said.

The centre has returned to its roots, sporting a new look, mirroring distinctly Scandinavian touches throughout the development.

LG1 will now be dubbed Foodland, complete with a new concept and design. This floor also welcomes back popular tenants such as Uncle Lim, De Irrfan’s Café, and Noodle Shack.
