Marina Bay and the Downtown Core from Skywaters Residences

Skywaters Residences stands at the southern gateway to the Downtown core, where the financial district of Shenton Way meets the newer city around Marina Bay. The URA describes the site as the intersection of the CBD, Marina Bay, Tanjong Pagar and the Greater Southern Waterfront.

The Financial District at the Door of Skywaters Residences

Shenton Way has been one of Singapore’s principal office addresses since the 1970s, and the towers of Raffles Place lie about a kilometre to the north. Tanjong Pagar Centre, with its offices, shops and an urban park, is about 180 metres away. For a resident who works in the CBD, the commute can be a walk, and the tower itself holds Grade A office floors below the homes.

The URA’s CBD Incentive Scheme, under which The Skywaters was one of the first redevelopments, encourages older office towers here to be rebuilt with homes and hotels, so the district is steadily gaining evening and weekend life.

East of the tower, Marina Bay opens up.
