Launched in May 2023 by highly reputable developer Keppel Corp - Keppel South Central will be an all-new 33-storey commercial tower at the former site of Keppel Towers located in Tanjong Pagar that is highly anticipated to be a hallmark development and a flagship commercial tower in the Greater Southern Waterfront District.
Strategically situated at the gateway to the Greater Southern Waterfront District, Keppel South Central will offer about 650,000 square feet of technology-forward spaces – comprising Grade A offices, flexible workspaces, retail and event spaces as well as a diverse range of indoor and outdoor amenities, including a social kitchen.
“We are excited to launch Keppel South Central, a next-generation smart and super low energy building designed for the talents of tomorrow. With its innovative, flexible and customer-centric urban space solutions, including round-the-clock facilities, Keppel South Central will enable people to work anywhere, anytime, in the way that they want, paving the way as the workplace of the future.” - said Mr Louis Lim, CEO, Real Estate Division of Keppel during the launch last year.
The Keppel South Central building is a recipient of the BCA Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy Award for its myriad innovative and green features. These include a high-performance facade system that will significantly reduce the amount of solar heat gain in the building, smart building management systems, rainwater harvesting systems, as well as the use of renewable energy.
The Pinnacle @ Duxton
The Pinnacle @ Duxton is a unique example of how innovative design can be incorporated into public housing projects. Challenging traditional perception of public housing and setting a new standard for high-quality, aesthetically pleasing public housing, The Pinnacle at Duxton offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city skyline in the heart of Singapore's city center.
The Pinnacle @ Duxton's unique and innovative design is renowned internationally. Consisting of seven connected towers with sky gardens bridging the towers at different levels, this distinctive architecture has garnered much international acclaim and admiration. Spanning 500m each, the sky gardens are located at the 26th and 50th floor connecting the 7 towers, offering panoramic views of the cityscape. The one on the 26th floor is exclusive to residents, but there is an entrance fee of S$6 per member of the public to access the 50th-storey sky bridge via a turnstile gantry on most days from 9am to 10pm (free for residents of The Pinnacle @ Duxton who have magnetic access cards allocated to each household).
Keppel South Central, located along Hoe Chiang Road is only a short walk to Tanjong Pagar MRT station and the upcoming Prince Edward Road MRT station, which is set to open on the Circle Line in 2026.
Slated for completion in 4Q 2024, Keppel South Central will be designed as a vertical park, with workspaces built in featuring a mix of alternative workspaces and amenities that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces. It will be 5G-enabled and fitted with leading-edge technologies, including facial recognition access, as well as smart lighting and micro-zoned air conditioning systems in designated areas that cater for 24/7 business operations.
"I expect the prices of residential properties nearby to see an upside once the iconic Keppel South Central opens for business. Keppel South Central does not have residential units and its purely commercial. With the completion of Keppel South Central expected by the end of this year, it will be like having Guoco Tower mall and offices 'shifted' right to the doorstep of The Pinnacle at Duxton," said Kiwi Lim, real estate agent from the largest private real estate agency in Singapore. "One Bernam - which is a new mixed condo development with retail and dining options beneath the residential tower, two levels of Sky Terraces and a hanging Garden Bridge located right beside 100am shopping mall and the upcoming Keppel South Central is seeing an increase in enquiries from home owners and investors."
