Once a structure synonymous with classic entertainment, The Cathay building today is an architecture of vibrant culture, embracing both linear Art-Deco design and modernism with its rich history.

The Cathay Building has been a distinct landmark since 1939 when it first opened its doors to avid movie-goers. Now a shopping mall infused with fashion and trends, five storeys house retail and dining indulgences while two floors are dedicated to an eight-hall multiplex cinema, including The Picturehouse – Singapore's first arthouse theatre.
