District 1

District 1 covers the business district, Marina Bay and the stretch of the Singapore River around Clarke Quay. Five projects in this guide sit here, four residential and one commercial.

Four residential towers

Each of the four homes projects takes a different approach.

• One Marina Gardens at Marina South counts 937 homes in towers of 44 and 30 floors, from one-bedders of about 420 sq ft. Keys are due by 30 April 2029.
• W Residences Marina View at 22 Marina View offers 683 branded homes on floors 16 to 51, managed by Marriott International, with keys by 31 March 2029.
• Union Square Residences at 28 Havelock Road puts 366 homes in a 40-floor tower near Clarke Quay, with keys by 15 March 2031.
• Skywaters Residences at 1 Prince Edward Road places 190 homes, all of three to five bedrooms, on floors 32 to 55 of a 63-floor tower, with a target completion of 2028.

URA places One Marina Gardens and Union Square Residences in the Rest of Central Region, and W Residences Marina View and Skywaters Residences in the Core Central Region, so the four appear on different region pages.

Offices

Cecil Place at 137 Cecil Street is a freehold building of 15 floors with 30 strata offices of roughly 1,750 to 3,900 sq ft. Telok Ayer station is about four minutes on foot, Tanjong Pagar six and Downtown eight, so tenants and visitors can arrive on several lines.

Comparing within the district

Size and home type separate the four residential towers more than location does. A buyer seeking a compact home near the bay will look at One Marina Gardens or Union Square Residences, both of which start at one-bedders. A buyer wanting a large family home high above the city will look at Skywaters Residences. W Residences Marina View adds hotel-group management.

Handover dates run from 2028 to 2031, which also shapes the choice.

Around the district

Food centres are close to most of these addresses: Lau Pa Sat is roughly 600 m from Skywaters Residences and 1.5 km from One Marina Gardens, while Hong Lim Food Centre sits about 440 m from Union Square Residences.
