One highlight of the shopping centre is the numerous information boards mounted along railings and on walls featuring interesting trivia based on particular themes which are updated periodically.

- Basement storey - Oceania
- Ground floor - Asia
- 2nd storey - Europe
- 3rd storey - The Americas
- 4th storey - Africa
Compass Point Shopping Centre has an approximate lettable area of 25,000 square metres (266,000 square feet). Compass Point Shopping Centre is currently managed by Frasers Centrepoint, formerly known as Centrepoint Properties, and the major tenants include Cold Storage, Metro, National Library Board, Courts, Popular Bookstore and Kopitiam food court.
