The largest tenant was the Hotel Phoenix Singapore. The John Little, a large tenant, has closed in anticipation of redevelopment. The Visitor's Guide of Singapore described the shopping centre as "revered". However, the Specialists' Shopping Centre along with the Hotel Phoenix Singapore had been demolished to make way for newer developments.
