Profiles

Paragon (Chinese: 百利宫) is an upmarket shopping centre on Orchard Road, Singapore.

Contents

The 20-storey shopping centre was designed by Kumpulan Senireka Sendirian Berhad, a Malaysian architectural firm. It was redeveloped in the late 1990s, transforming it into a modern glass-covered building. It has been described as “posh and sleek”.

In January 2008 Paragon embarked on a $82 million facelift which included a $37 million land premium to expand her commercial space which saw the addition of three more floors of office and medical space as well as new retails stores.

Led by the architecture firm DP Architects, the makeover was completed in Dec 2008. Paragon emerged with a contemporary facade.

The renovation was also in step with the URA's call to building owners to create more interesting and unique building facades to enhance the vibrancy of Orchard Road. In January 2017, Forbes recognized Paragon as one of the top five shopping malls in Singapore.

In July 2014, Stephen Wiltshire went to The Paragon to do a 4m by 1m sculpture for 5 days from 16 July 2014 and concluded on 20 July 2014.

Stores

With over 200 shops on six floors devoted to fashion, dining, lifestyle, fitness, health and beauty, Paragon has gained the reputation for being along Orchard Road.

One of Paragon’s features is its cluster of international brand flagship stores. These include high fashion labels Tod's, Prada, Miu Miu, Jimmy Choo, Anteprima, Dunhill, Etro, Ermenegildo Zegna and Burberry. Gucci opened its flagship store with five storeys of shopfront presence on the facade in February 2010. Complementing fashion are accessories that include watches, pens and jewellery retailers such as Hublot, Cortina Watch, Larry Jewelry, and Loang and Noi, among others, as well as crystal specialists Lladro and Liuligongfang.

Paragon’s anchor tenants: Metro hosts its only outlet along Orchard Road at Paragon, while Toys "R" Us, Marks & Spencer and Paragon Market Place also have a presence.

There are several restaurants in the shopping centre, ranging from the moderately priced Thai Express to high-end Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck Restaurant.

Paragon Medical

Paragon also houses a 20-storey medical and office tower atop the Paragon shopping podium.

Location and accessibility

Paragon is located in Orchard Road between the Somerset and Orchard MRT stations.
