Mapletree Investments has announced plans for its new 123,000 sq m flagship commercial project in Singapore’s Greater Southern Waterfront (GSW). As part of its latest HarbourFront Precinct’s rejuvenation, HarbourFront Centre will be transformed into a landmark that redefines the country’s southern skyline.
The new 33-storey development pairs upscale retail with premium office space at an established waterfront address with full-fledged amenities. It will comprise 26 floors of Grade A office specifications and five floors of engaging spaces for an experiential visit.
With a green tapestry cascading from the office tower into a 13,000 sq m elevated verdant park and located adjacent to a newly created stretch of waterfront promenade, tenants and visitors can enjoy views of the Singapore Strait as well as waterfront walks and activities.
Strategically located within the 24-ha HarbourFront Precinct, the new premium integrated development is flanked by VivoCity in the east, HarbourFront Towers One and Two and the new two-storey cruise and ferry terminal in the west. It is also directly connected to the HarbourFront MRT station with access to the North East and Circle Lines.
In addition, the development will be complemented with full-height glazing and refined horizontal louvres to improve passive shading for energy efficiency, while optimising the 360° panoramic views of the sea in the south, and the Southern Ridges as well as the city in the north.
To promote sustainable and green commuting via the coastal cycling network in the GSW, there will be ample bicycle parking and end-of-trip facilities. A range of sustainable elements – including a solar photovoltaic system to reduce reliance on grid energy, sustainable water management practices, a smart lighting system and electric vehicle charging stations – will also be included.
What’s more, the development prioritises energy efficiency and environmental responsibility, aiming to achieve the BCA Green Mark 2021 Platinum SLE and LEED Platinum certifications.
To pave the way for the transformative works, HarbourFront Centre is slated for closure in the second half of 2026 and the new development is expected to be completed by the first half of 2031.
