SingLand Advances Marina Square Hyper-Mixed Development Proposal
SingLand Progresses Bold Rejuvenation Plan for Marina Square Complex
Key Highlights from SingLand’s Latest Announcement
- Internal Restructuring: SingLand’s indirect subsidiary, Marina Residential Development Pte. Ltd., has initiated an internal restructuring to consolidate ownership of a key land parcel within the Marina Square complex.
- Strategic Regulatory Approvals: The company secured Provisional Permission from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) in Q3 2023 for a partial redevelopment, including rezoning part of the site for residential use under URA’s Strategic Development Incentive (SDI) scheme.
- First-of-its-Kind Development: SingLand submitted a revised proposal in H2 2025 to transform Marina Square into Singapore’s first “hyper-mixed” development, integrating residential, hospitality, retail, office, and cultural components.
- Key Project Components:
- A new residential tower
- A serviced apartment block
- A mixed-use tower featuring hospitality, office, and performing arts spaces
Strategic and Price-Sensitive Considerations for Shareholders
- Transformation of Prime Asset: The Marina Square complex, located in the heart of Marina Central, is set to be redeveloped into a vibrant waterfront lifestyle hub, enhancing the value of SingLand’s core assets. This transformation aims to create significant long-term value for shareholders by unlocking new revenue streams from residential, hospitality, and cultural offerings.
- Public Space Enhancement: A major feature of the proposal is the conversion of the existing green area over Stamford Canal along Raffles Avenue into a 6,500 sqm public park. The park will offer lush greenery, playscapes, and event spaces—potentially increasing foot traffic and boosting retail and hospitality demand in the area.
- Sustainability Focus: The project aligns with Singapore’s sustainability agenda, including integration with the Marina Bay District Cooling Network. This could enhance the project’s attractiveness to ESG-conscious investors.
- Business Continuity: During the planning and regulatory review phase, it remains business-as-usual at Marina Square, which continues to operate its shopping mall and three hotels: Pan Pacific Singapore, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, and Mandarin Oriental, Singapore.
- Regulatory and Timeline Risks: The revised proposal is currently under review by authorities, and detailed planning is ongoing. The development timeline has yet to be determined, but updates are expected in the first half of 2026. Investors should be aware of potential regulatory, construction, and market risks associated with such a large-scale redevelopment.
