Orchard Gateway is a shopping mall in Orchard Road, Singapore, connecting Orchard Central and 313 @ Somerset together. The mall was supposedly to be completed in November 2013,[1] but was delayed and officially opened on April 26, 2014[2]
The mall is part of an integrated development which includes a hotel and an office tower. The hotel is built above the mall and the office tower is built above Orchard Gateway@Emerald, another shopping mall located opposite Orchard Gateway. The hotel consists of 500 rooms and is linked to the office tower by a glass tubular overhead bridge.[3]

Developed on land previously occupied by Specialists' Shopping Centre and Phoenix Hotel, the mall with 180,000 square feet of retail space over 6 levels (including the 2 basement levels) houses both local and international lifestyle brands. It is also well connected to the shopping belt of Orchard Road via the glass overhead bridge, an underpass across Orchard Road and inter-mall walkthroughs.[3]
