Elevate your lifestyle to new heights with Skywaters Residences, a 99-year leasehold marvel poised to redefine the Singapore skyline. Situated at the prestigious 8 Shenton Way in District 1, this iconic residential development is the brainchild of none other than Chinese tech giant Alibaba and a consortium led by renowned developer Perennial Holdings. The sheer magnitude of this project is evident in its staggering acquisition price of S$1.68 billion, with Alibaba securing a significant 50% stake.
What sets Skywaters Residences apart is its aspiration to become Singapore’s tallest building, towering above the city with a maximum height of 305 meters. Anticipated to be completed in 2028, it will steal the title of the tallest structure from the 284-meter Guoco Tower, becoming Singapore’s first supertall building, defined as any structure above 300 meters.
At the pinnacle of Skywaters Residences lies the pièce de résistance, the highest residence in Singapore—a luxurious super penthouse with awe-inspiring views of the South China Sea and the bustling CBD. This epitome of opulence will be a testament to the grandeur of sky-high living.
Skywaters Residences is an integral part of the expansive 8 Shenton Way, a 63-storey mixed-use development that spans approximately 148,000 sqm. This vibrant urban hub will house an eclectic mix of retail outlets, restaurants, offices, a hotel, and 215 residential units featuring sky terraces. With nearly 60% of the development dedicated to commercial spaces, Skywaters Residences promises to be a dynamic and thriving community.
Behind the visionary design of 8 Shenton Way is the esteemed US architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), in collaboration with local firm DCA Architects. Renowned for their iconic projects such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and New York’s One World Trade Center, SOM brings a world-class pedigree to this skyscraper.
Skywaters Residences is not just about grandeur; it’s a testament to sustainability. The development aims to secure the coveted Building Construction Authority of Singapore Green Mark Platinum certification. Drawing inspiration from bamboo forests, the architecture incorporates garden terraces that reflect Singapore’s lush tropical landscape. These terraces, on residential levels, provide not only aesthetics but also light, air, and natural ventilation, ensuring a sustainable and eco-conscious design.
One of the most striking features of Skywaters Residences is the abundance of elevated, public green spaces, totaling over 10,000 sqm, surpassing the entire footprint of the site. These lush green havens are designed to offer residents serene retreats amidst the bustling city.
Connectivity is paramount at Skywaters Residences, with direct underground access to Tanjong Pagar MRT station, nestled in the heart of the CBD. Maxwell MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast line and Prince Edward MRT station on the Circle line are also within a 5-minute walk, ensuring that all of Singapore is at your doorstep.
Beyond the doorstep, residents will enjoy convenient access to major expressways such as Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE), Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE), and Central Expressway (CTE). Whether you’re heading to Orchard Road, Clarke Quay, Marina Bay, or Sentosa, the journey is a mere few minutes’ drive away.
Skywaters Residences offers more than just a home; it’s a gateway to a lifestyle of unparalleled convenience. Surrounding shopping malls like 100AM Mall, Icon Village, and Tanjong Pagar Centre provide endless shopping and dining options. Grocery shopping is a breeze with stores like Little Farms at Guoco Tower and NTUC Fairprice at Tanjong Pagar Plaza. And for coffee aficionados, the neighborhood is replete with cafes offering brunch and your daily caffeine fix.
Despite its central location, Skywaters Residences offers proximity to nature. Serene parks like Tras Link Park, Tanjong Pagar Park, Telok Ayer Park, and Ann Siang Hill provide respite from city life. For more extensive outdoor adventures, Gardens by the Bay, Mt. Faber Park, Pearl’s Hill City Park, and Fort Canning Park are a short distance away.
Families will appreciate the array of educational institutions nearby, including Modern Montessori Pinnacle-Duxton, Cantonment Primary School, Radin Mas Primary School, and CHIJ St Theresa’s Convent.
Skywaters Residences is an integral part of the rejuvenation of Singapore’s CBD into a precinct where people can “work, live, and play.” It’s nestled in the heart of the historic Tanjong Pagar neighborhood, Anson and Cecil precincts, and Marina Bay. The Anson precinct is set for transformation into a vibrant urban neighborhood with green spaces, sidewalks, and cycling paths.
