由来
  • 黄金坊原名为和合大厦（Woh Hup Complex），在1973年正式竣工。它是一栋拥有70个住宅单位、411家商店及500个停车位的16层楼商住两用大厦。
  • 1977年，在大厦落成初期，有一家专办泰国旅游的旅行社已在大厦内开始营业。这间接使它之后发展成了许多在新加坡工作的泰国人的聚会场地。
  • 黄金坊的商店区售卖的主要是具有泰国特色的食物、服装、商品等。大厦也设有泰式餐馆、酒吧、发廊、超市等。黄金坊因此具有浓厚的泰国风情。
  • 黄金坊在2021年十月被市区重建局（Urban Redevelopment Authority）列为受保留建筑，并在翌年被由三家集团组成的财团以新币七亿元购买。2023年五月，所有租户均已撤离大厦，标志着黄金坊一个时代的完结。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Golden Mile Complex was originally known as Woh Hup Complex. Completed in 1973, the 16-storey mixed-use complex comprises 411 commercial units, 70 residential units, and 500 parking lots.
  • By 1977, a travel agency specialising in trips to Thailand had begun operating in Golden Mile Complex. This indirectly resulted in the building becoming a gathering place for Thais working in Singapore.
  • Many retail shops in Golden Mile Complex sold Thai food, clothing and merchandise. There were also Thai restaurants, bars, hair salons, and supermarkets in the building, resulting in an environment highly reminiscent of Thailand.
  • Golden Mile Complex was officially gazetted by the Urban Redevelopment Authority as a conserved building in October 2021. The following year, it was acquired by a consortium of three organisations for S$700 million. All tenants moved out by May 2023, marking the end of an era at Golden Mile Complex.
例句
商铺的租户则希望获保留和重新发展后能继续在黄金坊营业，也希望黄金坊“小泰国”的特色不会消失。（《联合早报》，10/10/2020）
SAMPLE SENTENCE
