Tampines 1 is a shopping mall in the east of Singapore located beside the Tampines. The mall opened on 9 April 2009, construction began in March 2007 after the DBS Tampines Centre filled with Spotlight was demolished.[1] It replaced the former DBS Tampines Centre and Pavilion Cineplex.

The mall, spread over five storeys and one basement, is the first suburban mall in Singapore with a dedicated swimming pool. The shopping mall is easily accessible as it is located in the heart of the Tampines Regional Centre, where Tampines MRT station and Tampines Bus Interchange are situated very close to the mall. It is also located next to Century Square Shopping Centre as well as Tampines Mall.[2]

The total development cost of the project was estimated to be S$450 million and was upgraded from 17 March 2012 to 10 November 2012.
