Tim Ho Wan to shut first Singapore outlet after 13 years

The closure comes ahead of Plaza Singapura’s $160m upgrade.

Hong Kong dim sum chain Tim Ho Wan will close its Plaza Singapura outlet on 12 July, ending its 13-year run ahead of the mall’s planned redevelopment.

The outlet was the chain’s first location in Singapore when it opened in 2013.

Tim Ho Wan said in an Instagram post that the closure is linked to redevelopment works at Plaza Singapura.

The upgrade is part of CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust’s $160m asset enhancement initiative for the mall, along with The Atrium@Orchard.

The works are scheduled to run from the third quarter of 2026 to the fourth quarter of 2028, with both properties remaining operational.

The Tim Ho Wan outlet will operate until 5 p.m. on its final day. The company did not announce whether the outlet will be relocated.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
