There is a small shopping centre/office building nearby named The Laguna Mall, that was previously named Fishermen's Wharf. The Office of CLP (China Light Power) is located at the second and third floors of the shopping centre.
On the first floor are mainly tutorial centers and a restaurant named Laguna Palace which attracts a lot of Mainland Chinese tourists. Tutorial Centers like Eye Level and Mathnasium are opened on the first floor. There are lower and upper ground floors. The Upper Ground Floor consists of few restaurants such as: UCC Coffee Shop, Taste King, McDonald's and SD Cafe. The Lower Ground Floor consists of a Circle K convenience store, a Café de Coral fastfood restaurant and a ParknShop supermarket (recently converted to Fusion). Basement Levels 2 and 3 are combined with the basement levels of the apartments.
In 2016, the mall was sold to CLP, who planned to use the building for its permanent headquarters. In 2018 they demanded tenants to leave before 2018. Under the plan, CLP would take over the vast majority of the retail space as well as part of the Lagune Verde Clubhouse space which belongs to the residents. Over 5,000 residents signed a petition to oppose the plan.[1] After that, CLP modified the plan to vastly reduce retail space, leaving only the basement level and proposing sealing off several exits from the public.[2]
The Clubhouse is located between Tower 11 and 20 with large-sized swimming pools at the garden. It consists of 3 floors: The Ground Floor, Basement Level 1 and Basement Level 2.
- The Ground Floor consists of a lobby and reception centre.
- Basement Level 1 consists of the doorway to the changing rooms for swimming and a study room.
- Basement Level 2 consists of a few multi-purpose rooms, an indoor playground, a karaoke room, a billiards room, a squash room and 2 Table Tennis Rooms which consists of 4 tables.
Moreover, part of the clubhouse is located at the roof of Fishermen's Wharf. There is a few tennis courts, mini-golf courts, two basketball courts and an outdoor playground on the roof.
