Anchorpoint is a shopping mall located in Queenstown, Singapore. First opened in 1997, the mall is built at the site of a former brewery, the Anchor Brewery, which was established in the 1930s.[1] Nothing remains of the brewery with the exception of the two-storey brew master's office which has been incorporated into the shopping mall complex, all of which are owned by Frasers Property.[1]

Originally, the site was where a beer brewery complex named Anchor Brewery once stood. Established in the 1930s by German businessmen under the Archipelago Brewery Company, it was strategically located next to the now defunct Alexandra Railway for the convenient transport of beer to sell.[1][2][3] Most of the brewery including its factory and warehouse made way for redevelopments in the area, with the exception of the two-storey brew master's office that was preserved and gazetted for conservation on 12 February 1993.[1][2][3] The mall itself, which stands on the site of the factory, was opened in 1997.[1]
