CanningHill-Piers-OverviewWe are excited to announce the launch of Canninghill Piers Singapore, a new integrated development featuring Canninghill Square retail space and 696 residential units in the Canninghill Piers condo.

This project is located at the former site of Liang Court in River Valley, between Fort Canning Hill and the Singapore River. Its name reflects its unique dual-frontage to both the river and the hill. Canninghill Piers is conveniently next to and directly connected to Fort Canning MRT station on the Downtown Line.

Canninghill Piers will be the tallest residential building along the river, designed by the renowned Danish architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group.

This project is being developed by two major companies, City Developments Limited (CDL) and Capitaland Limited. Their redevelopment of Liang Court is a timely addition to the ongoing revitalization of the Singapore River area.

In addition to the 2-storey commercial podium managed by CapitaMall, Canninghill Square will also include a 21-storey Moxy Hotel operated by Marriott International and 20-storey serviced residences with a hotel license.

This new development will cover 100,263 square meters, or nearly 1.1 million square feet of total floor space.

The design includes four towers of varying heights. Two will be residential towers placed diagonally from each other, while the other two will be the hotel and serviced residences blocks. These towers will be built on top of a two-story retail and dining podium called Canninghill Square.

The towers will be spaced to maximize views and to allow the central courtyard of the retail podium to open up to the sky.

A standout feature will be a flowing drape across the facade, which visually ties the towers together and gives the development a strong architectural identity. Parts of this drape will be lifted at intervals to reveal green spaces, communal areas, and building entrances at various heights.

The landscaping at Canninghill Piers will extend the lush greenery of Fort Canning Park to its sky terraces.

Additionally, part of the road that currently separates the site from the river will be transformed into a riverfront promenade, seamlessly merging with the lively Clarke Quay lifestyle area.

In the future, residents will be able to walk from Fort Canning Hill to Pearl’s Hill City Park along the river, as envisioned in the URA master plan.

Capitaland and CDL will each own 50% of both the residential and commercial parts of the development.

CDL Hospitality Trusts (CDLHT) will own the hotel, which will be operated by Marriott International under the Moxy brand. Ascott Residence Trust (Ascott Reit) will own the 192-unit serviced residences, which will retain the Somerset branding.

The previous Somerset at Liang Court had 197 apartments. The new Somerset serviced residences will have 192 units, with more efficient room sizes and layouts. Over half of the units will be one and two-bedroom apartments, catering to business executives and expatriates on long stays. With its hotel license, it will also accommodate short-stay travelers.

As part of the site redevelopment, the partners plan to refurbish the promenade along the Singapore River next to the project. This will improve pedestrian access and attract more visitors, increasing social activity in line with the URA’s master plan to enhance the vibrancy of the river area.

The location of Canninghill Piers is special, with dual frontages onto Fort Canning and the Singapore River. Fort Canning Park is a cherished historical landmark, while the Singapore River is a lively icon known for its lifestyle, heritage, and culture.

Situated in Clarke Quay, Canninghill Piers is in one of Singapore’s most popular riverfront entertainment and lifestyle areas, close to the Central Business District. It is a pleasant walk along the river promenade to the CBD.

The site has excellent public transport access, with a direct link to Fort Canning MRT Station and a short walk to Clarke Quay MRT Station on the North East Line. A pedestrian bridge provides direct access to Fort Canning Park for those seeking greenery or quiet.

Canninghill Square aims to be completed by 2025.

The partners behind this project have a clear vision for the site’s potential. In their press release about the Liang Court redevelopment, they shared the following statements.

CDL’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sherman Kwek, said: “We are honored to partner with CapitaLand on another integrated development that will redefine Clarke Quay, one of Singapore’s most exciting entertainment areas. With its multiple frontages, stunning views, and easy access to Fort Canning MRT Station, the Liang Court site is perfect for a mixed-use development with residential, commercial, hotel, and serviced residence components. By leveraging the strengths of all partners, we aim to create an iconic landmark along the Singapore River.”

CapitaLand Group President for Singapore & International, Mr. Jason Leow, stated: “Liang Court is located on a prime site with dual frontages facing the Singapore River and Fort Canning Hill. Its redevelopment gives CapitaLand a unique opportunity to deliver a high-end, high-rise riverfront residential development with stunning views of the Singapore River and the city center. The commercial component will be seamlessly connected to Clarke Quay, offering residents top-notch dining and retail options right at their doorstep. Using CapitaLand’s extensive experience in creating award-winning integrated developments, we will work with CDL to make this property a new focal point along the Singapore River for visitors of all ages.”

Both CapitaLand and CDL are familiar with this area. CapitaLand has a stake in Park Hotel Clarke Quay and Clarke Quay Mall, while CDL owns and operates Central Mall on Magazine Road, a retail and office development.

Their experience in enhancing the vibrancy of the neighborhood supports the Singapore River One pilot Business Improvement District initiative.

Floor Plans

Canninghill Piers Site Plan

Canninghill Square Singapore is situated on a roughly square site in the Clarke Quay area at River Valley. This location offers rare, open views.

The development faces River Valley Road to the northeast, across from Fort Canning Park. Units facing this way will have clear, unobstructed views of the park extending towards Orchard Road.

To the northwest, across Clarke Quay Lane, is Fort Canning MRT station, which is underground. Above it, there is a low-rise commercial building called ITS Centre.

CanningHill-Piers-Sitemap 1

Clarke Quay Lane wraps around to the southwest side of the project, which fronts the Singapore River. This offers a chance to create a livelier scene compared to the old Liang Court design.

On the southeast, Tan Tye Place separates Canninghill Square from 3B Clarke Quay, a collection of conserved warehouses now used for retail and dining, adding character and charm to the area.

Thanks to the low-rise conservation precinct to the southeast and the river to the southwest, units on the south side should also enjoy good views.

CanningHill-Piers-Sitemap 2

The 48-storey residential tower facing the river will be 180 meters tall, making it the tallest residential building along the Singapore River. The other residential tower, 24 storeys high and 100 meters tall, will face River Valley and overlook Fort Canning Hill.

 

Together, the towers will offer 696 apartment units ranging from one-bedroom units to five-bedroom premium apartments, Sky Suites, and a Super Penthouse.

A sky bridge on the 24th floor will connect the two towers, providing lifestyle amenities such as an Infinity Lap Pool, Sky Gym, Sky Gourmet, Function Room, and Flexi Lounge. These facilities will enjoy unobstructed views of Fort Canning Hill, the river, the Central Business District (CBD), Marina Bay, and beyond.

The 24th floor will also feature the Sky Club, a luxury clubhouse with over 1,900 square feet of space, and the Sky Garden, both offering panoramic views of Marina Bay.

Additional facilities will be located on Level 3, including an adventure-themed children’s play area, a bouldering wall, and an outdoor jogging track, all set amidst lush landscaping.
