There’s no need to ride across the city to grab a bite or buy your needs. You simply need to take the elevator!

Secondly, it offers an opportunity for you to expand your business. Do you dreams of opening a retail store or a boutique? A coffee shop, or a hawker stall, perhaps? You can open one right there, and you can have the pleasure of working in the same building as you live. You can choose from the following:

– Shop unit (floor area: from 280 to 721 sq ft)
– Restaurant / food and beverage unit (452 to 1,044 sq ft)
– Food court stall

You can kiss the rush hour traffic good-bye! Plus, as City Gate occupies a corner lot on Beach Road and Jalan Sultan, its mall will be a sure hive for potential customers. The commercial podium will also have 113 parking slots for visitors, plus 3 for handicapped guests.
