With about 200 shops of F&B and fashion related merchandise and services, the mall offers a unique layout for Riverfront Shopping and Riverside Dining by the Singapore River, catering to chic, stylish and confident shoppers.

Located in the city center, at a landmark site above the Clarke Quay MRT Station along the historic Singapore River, it seamlessly integrates office and habitation, including the city's first purpose-built Small Office Home Office (SOHO) units. In addition to the SOHO units and retail podium, Central also houses a 25-storey office tower with New Age Offices as well as regular office units with large floor plates, a sky garden and recreational facilities, full public amenities and a community hub.

Central has invigorated the landmark Singapore River by infusing a new vibrancy into the area treasured for its rich historical background and architectural and business heritage.
