History
Plans of building the World Trade Centre was first announced by the Port of Singapore Authority in 1973.[1] It was officially opened in 1977, as well as having a ferry terminal that has traveling routes to nearby Indonesian ports, as well as the city of Batam and Bintan Island, it also featured nearby Expo Gateway and Harbour Pavilion exhibition halls.[2]
The World Trade Centre hosted Miss Universe Pageant in 1987.[3]
The World Trade Centre was later renovated from January 2000 with a connection to HarbourFront MRT station, and was reopened as HarbourFront Centre on 17 February 2003.[4][5]
Future Development
Plans of redeveloping HarbourFront Centre was announced by Mapletree Investments in 2025. It will close on 27 July 2026[6] to be redeveloped into a 33-storey building with office and retail spaces.[7] The new building is expected to be completed in the first half of 2031, in line with the vision of rejuvenating the HarbourFront precinct.
The existing cruise and ferry terminal will be relocated to an interim terminal at 5 Harbourfront Avenue, 70 meters away from its current location.[6][8] Batam Fast Ferry will start operations at the new location on 7 July, while all other ferry operators will start on 15 July 2026,[6] culminating with the closure of HarbourFront Centre.[8]
