CapitaLand and CDL introduce CanningHill Piers, a new landmark residence

SINGAPORE - Aug. 18, 2021 - PRLog -- CapitaLand Limited and City Developments Limited today unveiled the design of their latest joint residential development, CanningHill Piers, located between the historic Fort Canning Hill and the iconic Singapore River in District 6.  Named to reflect its rare hill and river dual-frontage, CanningHill Piers is the only residential development in Singapore complemented by these two nature elements in its immediate surroundings.  Boasting excellent connectivity that defines the best of urban living, the development is directly linked to Fort Canning MRT station on the Downtown Line, and right beside F&B and lifestyle destination Clarke Quay.

The landmark residence is part of an integrated development that also includes a commercial component with F&B and retail outlets named CanningHill Square.  The design scheme comprises four towers of different heights – a pair of diagonally-facing residential towers and one each for the hotel and serviced residence – set atop a double-storey commercial podium.  All four towers are distinctly spaced apart from each other to maximise views and allow the courtyard at the heart of the commercial podium to open to the sky.  A single continuous drape adorning the façade ties the various components together into an iconic and sculptural whole.  Strategic parts of the façade drape are lifted to unveil building entrances, communal areas and green spaces at various heights, creating a strong and unified architectural identity for the integrated development.

At 180 metres, the 48-storey residential tower facing the riverside will be the tallest residential development along the Singapore River, while the 24-storey residential tower overlooking Fort Canning Hill stands at 100 metres.  Housing a total of 696 units, the two residential towers are connected by an iconic sky bridge on Level 24, filled with a wide range of lifestyle facilities such as the Sky Gym, Infinity Lap Pool, Sky Gourmet, Flexi Lounge and Function Room. A wide selection of unit types from one- to five-bedroom premium apartments, Sky Suites and a Super Penthouse, ranging in size from approximately 410 to 8,950 sq ft, will be available.

CanningHill Piers is designed by Danish architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) led by Bjarke Ingels, one of the world's most well-known contemporary architects who is behind award-winning residential developments such as 8 House in Copenhagen and Via 57 West in New York.
