    MAPLETREE Investments has received the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) provisional permission to redevelop HarbourFront Centre at 1 Maritime Square into 101,326 square metres (sq m) of offices and 42,000 sq m of retail space.

    Both figures refer to gross floor area (GFA). The combined GFA of 143,326 sq m, or 1.54 million sq ft, is an expansion of nearly 47 per cent over the existing GFA of 97,700 square metres in the 13-storey building.

    The nod for the proposed development in May 2023 is among a string of projects granted provisional permission in the second quarter.
