Business owners at the recently re-opened Customs House said their business has gone up by as much 80 per cent since it opened in May.
Part of the Fullerton Heritage precinct, the former home of the Singapore Customs Police is now a trendy dining and entertainment destination.
Customs House was one of the earliest of Singapore’s public buildings to be built in a modern style to blend with the city’s skyline.
But only 4 restaurants occupy the refreshed structure, creating a boutique-destination feel.
Three of the restaurants are already in operation. The fourth is slated to open at the end of this month.
To keep the original character of the building, architects were careful to modify only 30 per cent of the structure during restoration.
This included replacing concrete walls with glass to take advantage of the panoramic views.
