Major renovation until Q4 2027
A phased revamp announced in Nov 2025 runs until Q4 2027. The mall remains open throughout, but many stores are shuttered or relocated and upper floors are partly boarded up — Uniqlo and KyoChon Chicken are temporarily closed. Check the mall's channels for the current tenant situation.
