Luxury Living at Marina Bay's Most Prestigious Address

Published Fri, Mar 11, 2016 · 02:57 AM

    Anchored by a magnificent garden with a stunning ribbon waterfall as the centrepiece, the upcoming Marina One integrated development in the heart of Singapore's Central Business District looks set to redefine the meaning of what luxury living should truly be like.

    Managed by M+S, a company owned by Malaysia's Khazanah and Singapore's Temasek, the ambitious $7 billion integrated development is also expected to turn the Marina Bay area into the island nation's most prestigious address, being the only development flanked by two green parks at the heart of Singapore's financial district. The emphasis on green design will be seen throughout the 3.67 million sq ft complex, from the lush green space separating the office, retail and residential elements, to the cutting-edge design of the buildings.

    Marina One Residences, the two towers taking up the southern area of the development, will be home to 1,042 one- to four-bedroom luxury apartments as well as penthouses, with sizes ranging from 657 sq ft to 8,568 sq ft. Residents will be able to enjoy panoramic views of the sea and the surrounding cityscape.

    Designed by highly acclaimed Supergreen architect Christoph Ingenhoven, the buildings will bear a contemporary grid-like facade defined by rectilinear shapes, while cleverly concealed air wells and louvres provide residents with natural ventilation. The luxury apartment towers will also incorporate other green features on the exterior, such as glazing to reduce solar radiation, a rainwater harvesting system and photovoltaic cells to tap solar energy. On the inside, the buildings maximise energy efficiency by using advanced air handling units, regenerative lift braking and motion sensors to control LED lighting.

    In addition, the well-crafted interiors of each apartment feature spacious and functional layouts as well as imported appliances and fittings from such well-known brands as Miele, Poggenpohl and Villeroy & Boch. And with private lift lobbies for the two- to four-bedroom units and penthouses, Marina One Residences is proof that the truly discerning can find their dream home that combines comfort, luxury and convenience.

    Homeowners can also expect to be pampered with a slew of amenities, including a 50m lap pool, a state-of-the-art 200sqm gymnasium, private dining rooms, private lounge, residents' clubhouse and a playground for children.

    Located at the development's core is the Green Heart, an expansive 65,000 sq ft urban jungle filled with lush greenery designed by landscaping maestros, Kathryn Gustafson of Gustafson Porter and Henry Steed of ICN Design International. This is not the first time both design firms have left an indelible mark on Singapore's landscape. The two were jointly responsible for bringing to life the iconic Gardens by the Bay East.

    Here at The Heart, Marina One's retail component, residents will find a comprehensive selection of lifestyle options, including a Cold Storage supermarket - the largest in Marina Bay, a concept food court, a Virgin Active fitness club with an indoor rock-climbing wall and indoor swimming pool together with a range of restaurants and retail boutiques. Also located within this area is The Pulse, an event space adorned with beautifully sculpted water features, gardens and terraces.

    If residents ever feel the need to leave this idyllic enclave, getting around will be a breeze as links to the Marina Bay and Downtown MRT stations provide easy access to not one, but four MRT lines reaching to all parts of Singapore from one central location.

    Furthermore, the prime location within the city means residents at Marina One are just minutes away from the area's exciting lifestyle options. World-renowned tourist attractions such as Marina Bay Sands are within walking distance, while a short trip across Marina Bay takes them to scenic spots like Gardens by the Bay, the Singapore Flyer and Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay. As the newest luxury home offering in the area, Marina One Residences is well placed to ride the robust growth expected of Singapore's Marina Bay area.
