Sun Plaza, Mixed-use development in Sembawang, Singapore.
Sun Plaza is a mixed-use complex on Sembawang Drive in Sembawang, Singapore, combining residential apartments with retail floors. The building stands out with its yellow facade decorated with an orange sunflower motif and rises across several levels.
The complex was completed in 2000 as a joint venture between Koh Brothers and Heeton Holdings. A major renovation carried out in 2014 expanded the retail areas and updated the interior layout.
Sun Plaza houses the Sembawang Public Library, where residents come to read, study, and borrow books on a daily basis. In Singapore, shopping centers regularly take on this kind of community role, making them more than just places to shop.
The building sits between Sembawang MRT station and the bus interchange, so it is easy to reach by public transport. Shops and food stalls are spread across several floors, so it helps to check the directory near the entrance on a first visit.
The residential section of Sun Plaza comes with shared facilities like a swimming pool and an outdoor hot tub, tucked inside the same building as the shops. This kind of arrangement is not common in a suburban neighborhood like Sembawang, where most buildings keep housing and retail separate.
