History
Parkway Parade Shopping Centre during the 2005 Christmas season
The development of Parkway Parade began in March 1981. Developed by Parkway Holdings on a 31,536 square metres (339,450 sq ft) plot along Marine Parade Road, the complex comprised a 15-storey office building and a six-storey shopping podium, and was expected to cost S$250 million.[4] The mall was designed after American suburban shopping centres, and Parkway Holdings sought advice from American and Australian consultants for its design.[5] In order to meet an Urban Redevelopment Authority deadline, the building contractor, Kajima Corporation, used a proprietary flat-slab construction technique to construct the complex.[6]
The complex opened in December 1983, and was well-patronised by shoppers, according to The Straits Times.[7] Having cost S$280 million to build, Parkway Parade had over 120,000 square metres (1,300,000 sq ft) of shop space, and featured several department stores catering to the middle class.[8]
At the time of completion, Parkway Parade was one of the first suburban shopping malls in Singapore. It featured many major tenants setting up their stores in the suburbs for the first time, such as Isetan, Marks & Spencer, Best Denki (then known as Yaohan Best), children's department store Small World and MPH Bookstore. It also featured a wide array of food choices, including a Chuck E.
