COME 2016, Singapore-based developer GuocoLand will roll out an integrated mixed-use development in the heart of the CBD, which will comprise a hotel, offices, apartments as well as retail and event space.
Located above Tanjong Pagar MRT station, the 290m Tanjong Pagar Centre will be Singapore’s tallest building with a floor space totalling 158,000m2. The project will include Guoco Tower, a 38-storey Grade A office block; premium residences known collectively as TP180; six levels of retail and F&B space; and a luxury business hotel.
“The richness of the historical district, park and landscape spaces will differentiate it from other commercial developments. We have set out to build a global icon that will position Tanjong Pagar as a premier-quality business and lifestyle district in the CBD and be a benchmark for sustainable and liveable developments,” said Trina Loh, group managing director, GuocoLand (Singapore).
Architecture firm, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, who was behind iconic buildings such as Dubai’s Burj Khalifa and New York City’s One World Trade Center, has been appointed for the project.
She added: “Tanjong Pagar Centre signals a transformed portfolio for GuocoLand in Singapore. It will expand our focus on commercial properties in Singapore, and reaffirms our position as a developer of large-scale integrated developments here and in the region.”
In addition to Tanjong Pagar Centre, the Group also boasts a portfolio of mixed-use developments in China, Malaysia and Vietnam. Malaysia’s Employees Provident Fund holds a 20 per cent stake in Tanjong Pagar Centre.
