The upcoming Marina Square redevelopment by UOL Group and Singapore Land Group (SingLand) will yield 702 residential units, according to PropNex’s co-founder and executive chairman Ismail Gafoor.
While UOL and SingLand have yet to reveal more information about the Marina Square complex since their initial announcement in December 2025, PropNex’s slides for its financial results for FY2025 ended Dec 31, 2025 mention a residential launch at the Raffles Boulevard address in 4Q2026.
According to Gafoor, the developer is keen to launch the residential component of the Marina Square complex within the year.
SingLand obtained provisional permission from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) in 3Q2023 for the partial redevelopment of the Marina Square complex, including rezoning a portion of the existing site for residential use. Sometime in 2H2025, SingLand submitted a revised proposal to URA.
SingLand, which is majority owned by UOL, announced in December 2025 that it plans to create “Singapore’s first hyper-mixed development” from the Marina Square complex by adding a residential tower, a serviced apartment block and a mixed-use tower.

The complex comprises shopping mall Marina Square and three hotels: Pan Pacific Singapore, Parkroyal Collection Marina Bay and Mandarin Oriental. The total site area stretches over some 92,197.3 sqm.
The Marina Square complex is a 99-year leasehold mixed-use development with about 53 years remaining on the lease. Marina Square shopping mall, opened in 1986, is a five-storey retail mall with a net lettable area of 0.8 million sq ft and was valued at $1.05 billion as at 1H2025.
SingLand has promised more details within 1H2026.
Aside, SingLand is currently redeveloping the former Clifford Centre into a new commercial tower called The Clifford. The developer announced on Feb 26 that The Clifford will measure 220m with 405,000 sq ft of net lettable area (NLA) across 35 floors of office, retail and F&B space when it is completed in 2028.
The tower will deliver a net lettable area of 360,000 sq ft of premium Grade A office space across 21 floors, complemented by 45,000 sq ft of retail and F&B offerings.
In addition, a 2,000 sq ft multi-purpose hall will offer tenants a venue to host large-scale meetings, conferences and events.
Designed by UK-based firm PLP Architecture, The Clifford will be the first commercial office building in Raffles Place to attain triple Platinum certifications from the Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) Green Mark, LEED (also known as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and International WELL Building Institute.
PLP Architecture previously worked with UOL on Pan Pacific London and the 43-storey One Bishopsgate Plaza. The firm made its debut in Singapore with Park Nova, the luxury freehold condominium along Orchard Road by Hong Kong’s Shun Tak Holdings.
