CapitaLand Limited and City Developments Limited (CDL) have unveiled the design of their latest joint residential development, CanningHill Piers, located between the historic Fort Canning Hill and the iconic Singapore River in District 6.

\n\n

Named to reflect its rare hill and river dual-frontage, CanningHill Piers is designed by Danish architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). The development is targeted for completion in 2025.

\n\n

BIG is also the design architect for CapitaSpring, a soon-to-be-completed 51-storey integrated development by CapitaLand Group in Singapore’s Raffles Place CBD. CanningHill Piers is expected to be BIG’s first residential project to be completed in Asia.

\n\n

“The design scheme comprises four towers of different heights – a pair of diagonally-facing residential towers and one each for the hotel and serviced residence – set atop a double-storey commercial podium. All four towers are distinctly spaced apart from each other to maximise views and allow the courtyard at the heart of the commercial podium to open to the sky,” explained CapitaLand and CDL in a joint statement.

\n\n

“A single continuous drape adorning the facade ties the various components together into an iconic and sculptural whole. Strategic parts of the facade drape are lifted to unveil building entrances, communal areas and green spaces at various heights, creating a strong and unified architectural identity for the integrated development.”

\n\n

At 180 m, the 48-storey residential tower facing the riverside is set to be the tallest residential development along the Singapore River, while the 24-storey residential tower overlooking Fort Canning Hill stands at 100 m. Housing a total of 696 units, the two residential towers are connected by an iconic sky bridge on Level 24, filled with a wide range of lifestyle facilities.

\n\n

According to CapitaLand and CDL, the landscaping of CanningHill Piers extends the lush greenery of Fort Canning Hill to its various sky terraces. Part of an existing road that currently separates the project site and the river will be transformed into an attractive riverfront promenade that connects seamlessly with the Clarke Quay lifestyle precinct along the same stretch.

\n\n

A wide selection of unit types from one- to five-bedroom premium apartments, Sky Suites and a Super Penthouse, ranging in size from approximately 410 to 8,950 sq ft, will be available, said both companies. More amenities and vantage points will be provided on Level 3, where an outdoor jogging track, a bouldering wall and an adventure-themed children’s play area can be found.

\n\n

CanningHill Piers is part of an integrated development that also includes a commercial component with F&B and retail outlets named CanningHill Square, a hotel operated under the Moxy brand by Marriott International, and a serviced residence with a hotel licence operated under the Somerset brand.

\n\n

“Coupled with its unique location embraced by nature and historical landmarks, we are confident that CanningHill Piers will set a new benchmark in refined urban living and meet the aspirations of city dwellers for style, wellness and connectivity,” said Jason Leow, president for Singapore & International at CapitaLand Group. “With upcoming plans to reposition Clarke Quay as a wellness, lifestyle and F&B destination that is vibrant both in the day and at night, residents of CanningHill Piers can look forward to raising their families in a lively and modern neighbourhood.”

\n\n

Sherman Kwek, group CEO of CDL added, “Conceptualised as a vibrant integrated waterfront development, CanningHill Piers seamlessly melds the convenience of urban living with a holistic wellness lifestyle and this icon will dramatically redefine the Singapore skyline. Through this timely urban renewal initiative, the former Liang Court site will be transformed into a prominent landmark next to Fort Canning Hill, imbued with the serenity of the Singapore River and the entertainment buzz of Clarke Quay.”

\n\n

CanningHill Piers enjoys convenient access to the CBD via the Central Expressway. It will be directly linked by an underpass to Fort Canning MRT station on the Downtown Line, and a mere eight-minute walk from Clarke Quay MRT station on the North East Line. Water transport to Marina Bay and Robertson Quay is also available via river taxi.

City Developments Limited (CDL), CapitaLand Limited and Ascott Residence Trust (Ascott Reit - a member of CapitaLand) have teamed up to redevelop the Liang Court site into an integrated development. It is targeted to open in phases from 2024.

\n\n

Subject to approval from the relevant authorities, the proposed development with a total gross floor area of 100,263 sq m will comprise two residential towers offering around 700 apartment units, a commercial component, a hotel and a serviced residence with a hotel licence.

\n\n

Upon completion, the 50:50 CDL-CapitaLand joint venture entities will own the residential and commercial components while Ascott Reit will own the 192-unit serviced residence with a hotel licence. CDL Hospitality Trusts (CDLHT) will own the hotel, which will have about 460 to 475 rooms.

\n\n

The consortium also plans to rejuvenate the river promenade flanking the property - in line with Singapore’s Draft Master Plan 2019 by the Urban Redevelopment Authority to enhance the area’s vibrancy. This is expected to generate social activities around the new development, increase footfall and improve pedestrian accessibility along the Singapore River.

\n\n

The Singapore River planning area is a vibrant local and international icon – home to a myriad of cultural, heritage and lifestyle offerings. Situated in the heart of Clarke Quay – Singapore’s most popular riverfront lifestyle and entertainment precinct – and on the fringe of Singapore’s Central Business District, the proposed development is linked to the Central Expressway via River Valley Road.

\n\n

“With multiple frontages, breathtaking views and convenient access to Fort Canning MRT Station, the Liang Court site has outstanding locational attributes for an integrated development comprising residential, commercial, hotel and serviced residence components. By harnessing the strengths and capabilities of all the partners involved, we plan to transform the site into an iconic landmark along the Singapore River,” said Sherman Kwek, group CEO of CDL.

\n\n

“The commercial component of the integrated development will be seamlessly connected to Clarke Quay, offering residents the convenience of top-notch F&B and retail offerings right on their doorstep,” said Jason Leow, president for Singapore & International at CapitaLand Group. “Drawing on CapitaLand’s extensive experience in creating award-winning integrated developments, we will harness our partnership with CDL to shape the property into a fresh focal point along the Singapore River for local and international visitors of all ages.”

\n\n

The redevelopment of Liang Court marks another collaboration between CDL and CapitaLand following last year’s successful joint bid to develop a commercial and residential site in Sengkang Central atop Buangkok MRT station.
