Junction 8 (Chinese: 碧山第八站; pinyin: dì bā zhàn, stylised as JUNCTI8N) is a popular heartland shopping mall located in the centre of Bishan.
The name of this shopping centre was derived from the old station numbering of the North South line sector of nearby Bishan (N8).
[2] Junction 8 was developed as a joint venture between Singapore Technologies Industrial Corporation (STIC) and Liang Court Holdings.
[2] When it first opened, it had 73 tenants, such as a Daimaru department store and supermarket, a Golden Village cineplex, Food Junction's first outlet, a duplex level SAFE Superstore and various specialty shops settling in a mall environment for the first time.
Also, the office tower space was decanted into the retail mall, and was subsequently leased to voluntary welfare organisations.
