CapitaLand Mall Trust
Annual Report 2015
We opened in Plaza Singapura in 2007 and currently operate 18 stores in
CapitaLand Mall Trust malls. CapitaLand is a supportive and professional landlord
that understands retail mix and the importance of brand management. We
engaged CapitaLand actively when managing the growth of our six brands in
Singapore: Cotton On, Cotton On Kids, Cotton On Body, Rubi Shoes, Typo and
Factorie. CapitaLand worked closely with us to expand our Singapore presence to
our current 62-store portfolio. The Cotton On Group has over 1,400 stores globally
in 17 countries. CapitaLand is our largest landlord partner in Asia - a key market
for our group. CapitaLand’s attention to detail and unwavering focus on retail mix,
plays a big part in the development of our strong partnership.
Mr Andrew Woolcock,
Director – International Property
The Valiram Group opened our first store in Raffles City Singapore in 2006.
Currently, the brands we have in CapitaLand malls include Victoria’s Secret,
Kate Spade New York, TUMI and Kate Spade Saturday. We presently operate in
Tampines Mall, Raffles City Singapore and Westgate. CapitaLand is a dynamic
and forward looking mall operator which understands the meaning of partnership
and recognises the importance of building win-win platforms for retailers.
The Valiram Group has certainly benefitted from CapitaLand’s constant desire to
create wonderful retail environments for both shoppers and tenants.
Mr Mukesh Valiram,
Executive Director
CapitaLand Mall Trust is always ahead of retail trends and has a firm understanding
of the local retail scene. In addition, it continually strives to provide a holistic shopping
experience for its shoppers. In September 2014, we opened our first Singapore
store in Westgate, which is ideally located in a large population catchment area
and is directly connected to both the Jurong East MRT and bus interchanges.
We are pleased to partner CapitaLand to bring to market our corporate philosophy
of enabling our customers to enjoy a creative lifestyle by providing ideas that make
one’s life more comfortable and enjoyable. We look forward to strengthen our
relationship with CapitaLand and to expand to other CapitaLand malls in Singapore
and overseas.
Mr Shinji Fujikawa,
General Manager - Japan
At Eighteen Chefs, we not only sell food, we sell a culture. We also train our
‘fast and furious’ crew to deliver great service in a timely manner. In this digital era,
we actively connect with our customers on Facebook. As a F&B business, the three
most important things to us are location, location and location. CapitaLand malls are
spread across Singapore with locations that suit our needs. Working together with
CapitaLand Mall Trust, we are able to attract young people and office crowds to
our eateries. Currently, we are at Bugis Junction, Bedok Mall, JCube, Bukit Panjang
Plaza and The Star Vista, with plans to foray into other CapitaLand malls.
