It has been described as “posh and sleek”.〔(Paragon Shopping Centre : Paradise for Singapore Shoppers )〕 In January 2008 Paragon embarked on a $82 million facelift which included a $37 million land premium 〔(: Paragon Valuation )〕 to expand her commercial space which saw the addition of three more floors of office and medical space as well as new retails stores. Led by the architecture firm DP Architects, the makeover was completed in Dec 2008. Paragon emerged with a contemporary facade.
