The Star is a 15-storey mixed use complex located in one-north, Singapore, integrating a performing arts centre called The Star Performing Arts Centre, and a shopping mall called The Star Vista. The building was designed by Andrew Bromberg of the architectural firm Aedas,[2] costs S$500 million to develop,[1] and is owned by the business arm of the Singaporean megachurch New Creation Church, who uses The Star Performing Arts Centre as their church service venue.[3][4] It is adjacent to the Buona Vista MRT station on the East West Line and Circle Line.
The Star Performing Arts Centre (PAC), is a 5,000 seat performing arts center located in the top nine floors of The Star (levels 3 to 11). It was completed in October 2012 and officially opened on 1 November 2012, with an inaugural concert by David Foster.[5] Aside from the main indoor concert hall, it also features a 770-seat function hall, an outdoor 300-seat amphitheatre, multipurpose rooms and a rooftop reception area.[6]
The Star Vista is a shopping mall occupying the bottom six floors of The Star, four of which are basement levels (1 floor of retail and 3 floors of car parks). The mall was developed by CapitaLand.[7] It contains 162,500 square feet (15,100 m2) on retail space. In November 2019, New Creation Church acquired The Star Vista for S$296 million from CapitaLand, after CapitaLand was purportedly in talks with buyers for a potential sale. New Creation Church explained that the acquisition was necessary "to protect the interest of the church", citing concerns of buyers with interests conflicting with the church's use of The Star PAC for religious purposes.[3][4]
