Background
The building was designed by Kisho Kurokawa and completed in 1994 as Lane Crawford Place (Chinese: 达卡佛坊).[1] It is now owned by Wheelock Properties, a division of Hong Kong's The Wharf.
The mall has an underpass to Shaw House and ION Orchard.[2] It was the site of Borders' flagship Singapore store until its closure in 2011.[3]

gollark: I think the 1 in 31 thing puts them at probably... uncommons, generally?
gollark: You'd expect it would be 1 in 26 if you don't think about it much, but it's not.
gollark: As they say, only 1 in 31 eggs are Z-coded!
gollark: I'm aiming for gold before the end of the year.
