This Subway outlet was established in the newly built Arles Place complex in FoTan. Developed from a bare shell condition, the kiosk showcases Subway’s global brand identity through a compact, efficient layout designed for high-volume takeaway.
Key elements include streamlined customer flow, illuminated brand features, hygienic materials, and optimized MEP integration. Despite ongoing mall development, the project was delivered on time and fully complied with local licensing and safety standards. The team navigated tight timelines, incomplete infrastructure, and regulatory hurdles through precise coordination and strong site management.

COLLABORATION & CONSTRAINTS
Working within a newly completed property, the project faced unique conditions:
Incomplete supporting infrastructure during initial fit-out
Coordination with multiple parties, including the mall developer, FSD, HVAC, and MEP consultants
Compressed construction period requiring back-to-back trades
Regulatory pressure to secure licenses within a limited window
The team overcame these challenges through decisive planning, direct site supervision, and close communication with the mall authority.
