Orchard Central (Chinese: 乌节中央城) is a shopping centre which is Singapore's tallest vertical mall. Shops have started opening since the end of May and its soft opening was on the July 2, 2009. The shopping centre sits on the land previously occupied by the Specialists Shopping Centre, which was torn down.

Designed by DP Architects as Singapore's first vertical mall standing 12 storeys above ground and 2 levels of basement. A super escalator on street level will take pedestrians up to Exchange@4 on Level 4. The mall is served by a total of 52 escalators (including 6 super escalators) and 12 glass elevators[1].

The mall boasts 160m frontage along Orchard Road (the shopping belt of Singapore), giving potential tenants visibility.
