Northpoint City stands as northern Singapore's largest shopping mall, directly opposite Yishun MRT station with an integrated transport hub connecting buses, trains, and community facilities. Originally opened as Northpoint Shopping Centre in 1992, the complex underwent major renovation in 2008 before its transformative 2017 expansion created the current two-wing configuration. The North Wing retained the original structure while the South Wing, completed in December 2017, seamlessly integrates with the Yishun Integrated Transport Hub and Nee Soon Central Community Club.
With over 1,300,000 square feet of net lettable area housing more than 400 tenants, Northpoint City delivers comprehensive retail variety spanning international brands and local favourites. Major anchors include DON DON DONKI, Harvey Norman, NTUC FairPrice, and UNIQLO, complemented by specialty retailers like BreadTalk, Bengawan Solo, and Popular bookstore. Entertainment and fitness options feature Timezone arcade and Anytime Fitness gym, while Krispy Kreme satisfies sweet cravings.
The food scene excels through The Makan Town specialty precinct alongside more than 50 eateries including Kopitiam food court, offering diverse cuisines from hawker classics to international fare. Families appreciate the wet and dry play areas where children can expend energy, while Yishun Public Library on the fourth level of the North Wing, reopened in February 2018, provides a modern reading and learning environment. This integration of retail, dining, entertainment, transportation, and community services establishes Northpoint City as northern Singapore's definitive lifestyle hub serving Yishun residents and beyond.
