AMK Hub (abbreviation for Ang Mo Kio Hub) is a suburban shopping mall located in Ang Mo Kio, within the North-East Region of Singapore. It is connected to Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange which is linked to Ang Mo Kio MRT station via an underpass. The shopping mall has 48,250 square metres of gross floor area and 350,000 square feet (33,000 m²) of retail space.^[1]

History

Built on the former site of the old Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange and the Oriental Emporium (Block 701), the original plan was intended to be a mixed used development consisting of a 33-storey residential development and a 20-storey office tower with the new Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange on the ground level, set to be completed in 2004. However, shortly after demolition works to the old Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange, the old contractor went bust, thus the site remained abandoned for two years. Meanwhile, the Singapore Labour Foundation (the then owner of AMK Hub) made drastic changes to the proposed development, from a mixed used development to a full fledged retail mall incorporating the bus interchange. As per the land lease conditions for the site, at least half of the NLA must be taken up by NTUC enterprises and public or not-for-profit entities.

Completed in phases from late 2006, AMK Hub comprised of NTUC Fairprice's first hypermarket, Fairprice Xtra at Basement 2, an NTUC Foodfare food court, NTUC Income service centre at Level 3 and an integrated entertainment centre ran by NTUC Club at Level 4, incorporating a Cathay cineplex, an amusement centre, a jackpot room and a karaoke parlour. These NTUC tenants are supplemented by more than 200 speciality shops and restaurants. The mall had its official opening in September 2007 by then Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Lim Boon Heng.

In the second half of 2018, the mall underwent some renovations, such as reconfiguring the layout of Basement 2 to expand the food hall, and the event space at Basement 1 as well. The upper floors were given an aesthetic upgrade as well, such as renovating the toilets and having a refreshed interior, coupled with a new tenant mix.

The mall was nearly sold to Hong Kong-based Link REIT in 2022, but the current owner, Mercatus, chose to retain ownership of the mall and entered a 10-year asset and property management contract with them instead.

In July 2024, the entertainment centre at Level 4 was shuttered to make way for civic and community offerings such as the new Ang Mo Kio Public Library, a ServiceSG centre, and a gym for stroke patients. Renovation works are currently underway, and is slated to be completed in early 2026. As compensation for the closure of eateries on the that level, a food and beverage cluster was created on Level 1.^[2]^[3]^[4]
