DC Mall is one of the newer and larger malls in Batam which is probably constructed to cater to the tourist crowd from Singapore. Unfortunately, due to the closure of the casinos in February 2005, its development seems to have been affected and thus, probably about 35% of the shops are unoccupied as of April 2005. Due to the lack of tourist and the large area, the whole shopping mall has a feeling of being “very vacant”.

There are some large clothing shops there selling factory outlet clothings from the likes of Esprit, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Fila. I am not sure if they are real or fakes though
