# Marina Square To Close In 2027 For Major Redevelopment - **Source:** Stacked Homes - **Published:** 2026-09-01T11:32:49.000Z - **Author:** Timothy Tay - **Original:** https://stackedhomes.com/marina-squares-biggest-transformation-40-years-49-storey-luxury-condo-major-mall-overhaul/ - **Topics:** Private Residential, Commercial & Industrial ## Featured rationale The expanded mix signals developer confidence in Marina Bay and could increase luxury housing and scarce Grade A office supply while strengthening all-day precinct activity. ## AI summary Marina Square will close from March 31, 2027 for redevelopment adding 204 luxury homes, 304 hotel rooms, 260 serviced apartments and Grade A offices by 2031. ## Original article I’m willing to bet that most of our readers don’t realise that four iconic buildings in the Marina Bay area are part of a sprawling integrated complex. I’m talking about the Marina Square shopping mall and its three connected hotels – the Pan Pacific Singapore; PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore; and the Mandarin Oriental, Singapore. The entire complex – which is named Marina Centre – is owned by Singapore property group Singapore Land (SingLand) and its parent company mainboard-listed UOL Group, through their subsidies. But on Sept 1, SingLand unveiled the most extensive development plans that the complex has seen in over four decades. As a result, Marina Square will close its doors for about four years from March 31, 2027 and new luxury residences, serviced apartments, and Grade A offices will be developed. Since its completion in 1986, the buildings that make up Marina Centre helped to anchor the development of that part of Marina Bay. Alongside other landmark developments like the five-tower Suntec City and Convention Centre as well as the Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, it brought offices, hotels, retail and lifestyle offerings to the area. The three hotels, all owned by Pan Pacific Hotels Group and a member of UOL Group, remain iconic buildings in Singapore for their John Portman architecture. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, Pan Pacific has spent considerable capital to elevate the offerings at Pan Pacific Singapore and the Mandarin Oriental. Meanwhile, the former Marina Mandarin Singapore was rebranded as PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore in 2020. A planned 204-unit residential development would have prime views of the city skyline and Marina Bay. (Picture: SingLand) For years, UOL Group and SingLand have been quizzed about their future development (or redevelopment plans) for Marina Centre, especially since the site had the capacity to increase its overall gross floor area (GFA). Now, together with UK-based PLP Architecture and local firm DP Architects, it plans to capitalise on a recently approved GFA uplift, which was filed under the government’s Strategic Development incentive (SDI) scheme. All eyes will likely be on a new 49-storey residential tower (visualised in the picture above) that will house 204 large-format luxury homes, ranging from three- to five-bedroom units as well as penthouses. “As Marina Bay enters its next phase, we have an opportunity to reimagine Marina Square as a more connected and compelling destination,” says Jonathan Eu, CEO of SingLand. He adds that adding residences, serviced apartments and workplaces alongside the existing hotels – while repositioning the mall around experience-led retail, sports, wellness and community – it opens the door for the developers to create a more integrated live-work-play ecosystem there. “This hyper-mixed approach is about more than placing different uses together. It is about designing them to reinforce one another, with the mall and public realm serving as shared platforms for activity throughout the day,” says Eu. The development plans will see a new continuous sheltered walkway and an elevated botanical loop that will strengthen pedestrian links to One Raffles Link, Millenia Walk, Suntec City and the upcoming NS Square. The new mixed-use block and multi-level landscaped terraces will support placemaking activities and community activities. (Picture: SIngLand) One of the key developments is a mixed-use block that will house a 304-key hotel and a 260-key serviced apartment. This would bolster the hotel offerings already provided by the three existing hotel properties – which are unaffected by the latest changes – as well as enable the group to serve longer-stay guests. The new hotel will occupy the fourth to tenth floors of the 19-storey mixed-use block, with shared spaces for networking, events and social interaction. Its location places guests close to the vibrant Marina Bay area. Meanwhile, the 24-storey serviced apartment block will offer panoramic views towards Marina Bay and Bay East Garden. SingLand says that operators for both hospitality components have yet to be appointed. But this is not the only new building set to break ground there. The 12th to 19th floors of a new 19-storey mixed-use block will inject about 139,880 sq ft of Grade A office space to that part of Marina Bay. Grade A office supply in that part of town is relatively scarce, with most corporate tenants moving into the strata offices at Suntec City or the spaces at Centennial Tower. The retail mall will be the common platform linking the precinct’s hotels, offices, residences, serviced apartments and landscaped public spaces. (Picture: SingLand) Meanwhile, Marina Square will shut its doors after March 31 next year, as the 817,760 sq ft building undergoes a comprehensive renovation. SingLand says that it will return with a broader mix of food and beverage, sports, wellness and lifestyle concepts, alongside landscaped and pet-friendly environments. There are also plans to build a new first-storey through-block link between Raffles Avenue and Raffles Boulevard, as well as a sheltered connection to the upcoming NS Square. SingLand says that these changes reflect changing consumer expectations for places that combine commerce with recreation, wellbeing and community. The developer says that by bringing complementary uses into closer physical and operational connection, the mall can support activity across different times of day and serve office workers, residents, hotel guests and visitors throughout Marina Bay. So, what do all these development plans mean for this part of Marina Bay? The unveiling of this massive development plan and transformation initiative, SingLand and UOL Group contribute another piece in the tapestry unfolding across Marina Bay, and the wider Central Region. They are not the only ones breaking ground on new development projects. Work is already underway in the construction of the fourth tower of Marina Bay Sands. It will include two main components: a 570-suite luxury hotel and a podium for business and entertainment activities. Work on the fourth tower is expected to be completed by 2031, the same year that SingLAnd and UOL expect to complete their development plans for Marina Centre. Elsewhere in Marina South – the new waterfront precinct next to Gardens By The Bay – we expect the government will progressively release more development land through the government land sale (GLS) programme in the coming years. The first condominium in that new CBD-adjacent neighbourhood has been launched – the 937-unit One Marina Gardens by Chinese developer Kingsford Group. And a second GLS site was launched on Aug 13, with another neighbouring site on the Reserve List. All of this comes as bits of the Greater Southern Waterfront master plan come into fruition. Some components of this 30-km urban transformation plan have been set in stone, including a new private-public residential neighbourhood in Berlayer (the former Keppel golf course) and a doubling of the size of Sentosa Island. So there are a lot of development plans afoot in the areas around and within Marina Bay. Overall, I think it’s timely that SingLand and UOL Group are finally committing to transform and develop Marina Centre with new luxury residences, serviced apartments, and offices, among other uses. ## Chinese translation > Translation model: grok_cli ### 滨海广场将于2027年关闭以进行大规模重建 新翔集团（SingLand）对滨海广场的重建将引入三座新大楼、豪华住宅、办公楼及升级后的商场，将该区域定位为新加坡首个超级混合用途发展项目，预计2031年竣工。 我敢打赌，我们大多数读者都没意识到，滨海湾一带有四座标志性建筑同属一个规模庞大的综合体。我说的是滨海广场（Marina Square）购物商场及其三座相连酒店——Pan Pacific Singapore、PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore，以及Mandarin Oriental, Singapore。 整个综合体名为滨海中心（Marina Centre），由新加坡房地产集团新加坡置地（Singapore Land，简称SingLand）及其母公司——主板上市的华业集团（UOL Group）通过各自子公司持有。 但在9月1日，新翔集团公布了该综合体四十多年来规模最大的发展计划。因此，滨海广场将自2027年3月31日起关闭约四年，期间将开发全新豪华住宅、服务公寓和甲级办公楼。 自1986年竣工以来，组成滨海中心的这些建筑助力锚定了滨海湾这一区域的发展。与五座大楼组成的新达城（Suntec City）及会展中心、滨海艺术中心（Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay）等其他地标项目一道，它为该区带来了办公、酒店、零售和生活方式配套。 这三家酒店均由泛太平洋酒店集团（Pan Pacific Hotels Group）拥有，该集团同为华业集团成员，其John Portman建筑设计至今仍是新加坡的标志性建筑。冠病疫情以来，泛太平洋投入可观资金提升Pan Pacific Singapore和Mandarin Oriental的产品。与此同时，原Marina Mandarin Singapore于2020年更名为PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore。 规划中的204个单位住宅项目将享有城市天际线和滨海湾的优越景观。（图片：新翔集团） 多年来，华业集团和新翔集团一直被问及滨海中心的未来发展（或重建计划），尤其是该地段有能力增加整体总楼面面积（GFA）。 如今，该集团联同英国PLP Architecture及本地公司DP Architects，计划利用近期获批的总楼面面积上调——该申请是根据政府的策略发展奖励计划（Strategic Development Incentive，SDI）提交的。 外界目光很可能聚焦于一座新建的49层住宅大楼（如上图所示），将容纳204套大户型豪华住宅，涵盖三房至五房单位以及顶层公寓。 新翔集团首席执行官Jonathan Eu表示：“随着滨海湾进入下一阶段，我们有机会将滨海广场重新构想为一个更具连通性和吸引力的目的地。” 他补充说，在现有酒店之外加入住宅、服务公寓和工作场所，同时将商场重新定位为以体验为主导的零售、运动、康养和社区空间，这为发展商打造更一体化的居住-工作-休闲生态系统打开了大门。 Eu说：“这种超级混合用途的做法，不只是把不同功能放在一起。而是把它们设计成相互强化，让商场和公共领域成为全天候活动的共享平台。” 发展计划将新增一条连续有盖走道和一条高架植物环廊，以加强通往One Raffles Link、Millenia Walk、新达城及即将落成的NS Square的行人连接。 新建的综合用途大楼和多层景观平台将支持场所营造活动和社区活动。（图片：新翔集团） 其中一项重点是一座综合用途大楼，将容纳一家304间客房的酒店和一套260间客房的服务公寓。这将增强现有三家酒店物业已提供的酒店产品——这三家酒店不受最新变动影响——同时使集团能够服务更长期住宿的宾客。 新酒店将占据这座19层综合用途大楼的四至十层，并设有供社交、活动和交流的共享空间。其位置使宾客靠近充满活力的滨海湾地区。与此同时，24层的服务公寓大楼将提供面向滨海湾和东滨花园（Bay East Garden）的全景视野。 新翔集团表示，这两个酒店业务组成部分的运营商尚未委任。 但这并非该处唯一即将动工的新建筑。一座新建19层综合用途大楼的12至19层，将向滨海湾这一带注入约139,880平方英尺的甲级办公空间。该区甲级办公供应相对稀缺，多数企业租户迁入新达城的分层办公单位或百年大厦（Centennial Tower）的空间。 零售商场将成为连接该区域酒店、办公楼、住宅、服务公寓和景观公共空间的共同平台。（图片：新翔集团） 与此同时，滨海广场将于明年3月31日后关闭，这座817,760平方英尺的建筑将进行全面翻新。新翔集团表示，商场重开后将提供更广泛的餐饮、运动、康养和生活方式概念组合，并配备景观及宠物友好环境。 此外还计划在Raffles Avenue与Raffles Boulevard之间新建一条一楼贯通街区通道，以及通往即将落成的NS Square的有盖连接。 新翔集团表示，这些变化反映了消费者对融合商业、休闲、健康与社区的场所日益变化的期望。该发展商称，通过将互补用途在物理和运营上更紧密地连接起来，商场可以支持全天不同时段的活动，并服务整个滨海湾的上班族、居民、酒店宾客和访客。 那么，所有这些发展计划对滨海湾这一带意味着什么？ 随着这项大规模发展计划和改造举措的公布，新翔集团和华业集团为滨海湾及更广阔中央区正在展开的图景再添一块拼图。 他们并非唯一在推进新发展项目的业者。滨海湾金沙第四座大楼的建设工程已经展开，将包括两大组成部分：一家570套套房的豪华酒店，以及一个商务与娱乐活动平台。 第四座大楼预计于2031年竣工，与新翔集团和华业集团预计完成滨海中心发展计划的年份相同。 在滨海南（Marina South）——滨海湾花园旁的新滨水区域，我们预计政府未来几年将通过政府土地售卖（GLS）计划逐步释出更多发展用地。 该紧邻中央商务区的新社区已推出首个共管公寓——由中国发展商经纬集团（Kingsford Group）开发的937个单位One Marina Gardens。第二个政府土地售卖地段已于8月13日推出，相邻另一地段则在预留名单上。 这一切正值大南部滨水区总体规划的部分内容落地。这项30公里城市改造计划的一些组成部分已成定局，包括在Berlayer（前吉宝高尔夫球场）打造新的私人与公共住宅社区，以及圣淘沙岛面积扩大一倍。 因此，滨海湾内外已有大量发展计划在推进。总体而言，我认为新翔集团和华业集团终于承诺以全新豪华住宅、服务公寓和办公楼等用途来改造和发展滨海中心，此举恰逢其时。
