112 Katong, formerly Katong Mall,[2] is a 7 storey shopping mall in the east of Singapore located at the intersection of East Coast Road and Joo Chiat Road. The mall opened on 18 November 2011.

Pua Seck Guan, former chief executive of CapitaLand Retail, bought over Katong Mall in a $247.55 million deal. A private trust called Perennial Katong Retail Trust was subsequently formed to buy the mall from Tuan Sing Holdings' Golden Cape Investment. The trust's investors included corporate and institutional investors and Pua.[1]

The total re-development cost of the project is estimated to be S$60 million. The mall is re-developed based on Peranakan concepts.[3][4] Golden Village Katong is also designed based on Peranakan themes.[5]

112 Katong housed high-end Danish furniture store BoConcept after it relocated from Devonshire Road. Cortina Watch which previously has only downtown outlets became the first luxury-watch retailer to have a presence in a suburban mall.[6]
