Luxurious units, prime location and vibrant retail enclave: Live, work and play in the heritage heart of S’pore

THE Rocks in Sydney, The Bund in Shanghai and Tokyo Bay Area in Tokyo.

What do these famous landmarks have in common? A coveted address that offers a luxurious lifestyle at its doorstep and a neighbourhood rich in heritage.

Now, add to this elite list the historic surrounds of the Singapore River, where a bustling trading port took shape along its banks.

A charming yet buzzing landmark area, it is part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s Singapore River Planning Area, which is undergoing a major transformation and encompasses the well-known Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay.

But opportunities to call this area home have been few and far between. This is why Union Square Residences is a coveted asset in this precinct. The latest quality luxury home from award-winning developer CDL, it is inspired by the vibrant Union Square in New York City’s Manhattan district.

This sprawling mixed-use development consists of a Grade A premium office tower, retail and food and beverage (F&B) units, luxury residences for the discerning few, and a co-living component with a hotel licence — a rare large-scale concept in a prime district. Live, work and play amidst some of Singapore’s most recognisable landmarks yet stay close to the bustling business and entertainment district for an enviable lifestyle.

Located along Havelock Road, Union Square Residences sits at the gateway to the Central Business District and is a short drive to Orchard Road, Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands and the Esplanade, making it attractive to both investors and discerning homeowners alike.

Nearby educational institutions include Lasalle College of the Arts, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, School of the Arts and Singapore Management University.

Its address is also a short stroll to Fort Canning MRT Station, Clarke Quay MRT Station and Chinatown MRT Station.

What this means: A well-connected enclave that puts you one stop away from major transport nodes like Chinatown Interchange and Dhoby Ghaut Interchange. HarbourFront Interchange is also three stops away from your home. These stations will in turn take you across Singapore for work and play seamlessly, allowing you to lead a low-carbon lifestyle.

For an even more sustainable and fitness-centric way of getting around, Union Square Residences is a short walk from Singapore River, Chinatown, Fort Canning Hill, Pearl’s Hill, Boat Quay, Robertson Quay and the newly rejuvenated Clarke Quay. At these enclaves, you will find a diverse array of dining and retail options, catered for all lifestyles.

As a nod to Union Square Residences’ commitment to energy efficiency, it has also been awarded the Building and Construction Authority’s Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy certification. Some notable features include an external facade that reduces heat gain from the sun while the building is oriented for good natural ventilation in the common areas and residential units.

The ultimate exclusive lifestyle

If your idea of home is a sanctuary of privacy, Union Square Residences offers that escape to tranquility. There are just 366 units in one 40-storey residential tower. Owning a home here is as exclusive as it gets.

These range from 1-bedroom to family-friendly 4-bedroom premium units, and include two prestigious Sky Suites and one ultra-luxurious Penthouse.

Once home, bask in the breathtaking view of the stunning city skyline, Singapore River, Fort Canning Hill and Pearl’s Hill, visible from selected units.

Your home is ready to move into as kitchens come with branded appliances from Liebherr, De Dietrich and V-Zug. Also, expect state-of-the-art MDi engineered stone countertops that merge into the invisible induction hobs and sinks for a seamless designer look. Selected master bedrooms are furnished with walk-in wardrobes from Italian brand Rimadesio and bathrooms are equipped with fittings from Hansgrohe and Geberit, as well as engineered stone vanity tops.

After work, recreational options abound. There are two levels of facilities for residents, each offering something unique.

On Level 3, the Social Vista houses a Club Social, Social Lounge, Gourmet Pavilion, Co-Working Studio, Lap Pool, Kids’ Club, Aqua Gym and more. Things get more exclusive – and scenic — on Level 34 where the Union Vista has a Sky Gym, Alfresco Dining, Spa Alcove and a Sky Pool that overlooks the Singapore River and Fort Canning Hill.

In addition, indulge in some quiet me-time in one of the seven recreational pods located across different levels. 

Relax and spend quality time with your loved ones because you can leave all your planning and chores to the Premier Residential Services. This dedicated team of Residential Hosts will assist with a suite of tasks like accepting parcels, making restaurant reservations and arranging transport or housekeeping services on your behalf. 

At your doorstep, retail and F&B businesses cater to your everyday needs. Working near home will also take on a new meaning with Union Square Central, a 20-storey premium office tower. 

A distinct Co-Living component with an estimated 134 rooms will make your living space more buzzing and cosmopolitan, definitely appealing to young families, couples and digital nomads who want a home and a lifestyle with a difference.
