Margaret Market at Queenstown welcomes all to this oldest market, a revamped modern space featuring a curated selection of good food, wholesome produce plus fitness and health services. Expect a vibrant destination supporting local brands where residents and visitors can gather and mingle.
Margaret Market takes over from what used to be the former Commonwealth Avenue Wet Market & Food Centre that was built in 1956 and was the only remaining building in Singapore built by the Singapore Improvement Trust. Gazetted for conservation by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), it now breathes new life as Margaret Market, a new destination set to be the jewel of Singapore’s first satellite town of Queenstown.
Building A Community
Within its open-space walls, Margaret Market is a bespoke boutique conserved marketplace that aims to promote healthy minds and bodies. On a monthly basis, look forward to free health screenings for Singapore citizens and PRs aged 60 and above, as well as community programmes, fitness, arts and culture activities made accessible to all walks of life. The space is also home to a relocated old trade, a Chinese medical hall, affected by the closing of Tanglin Halt. Relocated trades are offered a subsidised rate to set up shop and resume business at Margaret Market, all in the spirit of community.
Find everything you need for your fitness and health well-being with facilities like:
- Bethesda Medical - The master tenant of Margaret Market, brings a comprehensive healthcare clinic with complete health screening, X-ray, dental and psychology counselling facilities, as well as a digital health booth to check our own health vital signs.
- Fung Onn Medical Hall - Just a stone’s throw away from their previous location at Tanglin Halt so customers and followers will still get to interact with their familiar shop owners and workers.
- Gymm Boxx - A 24-hour open space gym for working out any time of the day
Supporting Local
As a lifestyle destination, Margaret Market is local-centric and seeks to support local brands, home bakers and cooks. Boutique local brands and first-time vendors and entrepreneurs will be spotlighted in a communal space.
Do share your support for some of the local trades:
- Urban Folks with their Australian-inspired jaffles and DIY acai bowls and The Homme Baker with their artisanal cakes. They were previously home-based businesses that now have the opportunity to operate out of home.
- Margie, a swanky bistro bar serving up local tacos and sides.
- Cu.Ra.Te fresh fruit and vegetable supplier specialising in seasonal fruits and vegetables.
- Creamier dessert parlour and Ya Kun Kaya Toast, a Singapore icon for local breakfast treats, both home-grown brands with deep local roots.
Plus several others
In revitalising Margaret Market, the aim is to create a new identity while preserving a sense of familiarity. Margaret Market is proudly curated and managed by Bethesda Medical, the master tenant and health service provider of the development.
