Ngee Ann City was opened on 21 September 1993 by Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong. It is a shopping and commercial center that houses many retail/dining outlets from high-end stores like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and two floors of Tiffany to other more budget-friendly stores like Zara, Club Monaco, or G2000. The establishment also has offices in its towers.
In addition, Ngee Ann offers many dining options from Japanese to Western to Chinese. For anyone on a budget, one can always check out the food court located at B2 of the Takashimaya department store.
