History edit
Northpoint City was originally called the Northpoint Shopping Centre, having been first constructed in November 1992 as the first suburban mall to be built in the northern heartlands of Singapore. Cold Storage, Swensen's and Giordano were one of the first few outlets to open in the Northpoint Shopping Centre.[3]

In July 2017, Northpoint Shopping Centre was renamed as Northpoint City, with the existing building becoming its north wing. The south wing of the mall was opened in December 2017, integrating Northpoint City with the Yishun Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) and Nee Soon Central Community Club. It was the first time in Singapore that different public facilities were integrated in this manner. A 920-unit condominium called the North Park Residences was also constructed atop Northpoint City.[4]
Yishun Public Library reopened on 3 February 2018, located at the fourth level of the North Wing. A linkway to the South Wing from the MRT station was also constructed.[5]
