Marina
Bay is Singapore’s most exciting and ambitious urban project by the Singapore
government that will support its continuing growth as a major business and
financial hub in Asia. Set by the water’s
edge, Marina Bay presents a canvas to create a 24/7 LIVE-WORK-PLAY Garden City by the Bay.
Reclaimed from the sea in
the 1970s, the 360-hectares of prime real estate in the heart of Singapore’s
downtown is designed to tap on the synergy with and seamlessly extend from the
existing CBD at Raffles Place / Shenton Way.
With the Marina Barrage, a dam built across the
Marina Channel that acts as a tidal barrier, Marina Bay is transformed into
Singapore’s first city reservoir with a vast 182-hectares water body that also
serves as a spectacular venue for water-based recreational activities. The current National Day Parade and Year-end Countdown festivities with its
spectacular firework displays are held annually at Marina Bay area.

comprehensive pedestrian network including shady sidewalks, covered walkways,
underground and above ground links that ensures all weather protection and
seamless connectivity between developments around the Bay and MRT stations.

and iconic pedestrian bridge, The Helix. The Helix is a 280-metres long bridge
designed as a double helix structure, that link the Bayfront area to Marina
