Preschool converted from car park to open at Wisteria Mall in July

The car park-to-childcare centre conversion was part of the mall’s broader rejuvenation.

A new childcare centre at Wisteria Mall will open its doors to the public next month, marking the first childcare centre to be converted from a car park space under URA’s Community/Sports Facilities Scheme (CSFS).

Located within the mall’s second-story car park, the new Artemis Preskool will be able to provide residents in Yishun with quality and affordable childcare services, according to a press release by Knight Frank.

The car park’s conversion into a preschool centre was made possible through URA’s CSFS, which allowed Schroders Capital, the owner of the mall, to increase the property’s commercial space with a bonus gross floor area (GFA).

The integration of the preschool was part of Schroders’ broader plan to rejuvenate Wisteria Mall since acquiring it in 2022, according to Andrew Moore, Head of Real Estate APAC, Schroders.

Knight Frank secured the lease with Artemis Preskool in the fourth quarter of last year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
