GuocoLand to build 30-storey office tower and 200-unit living area in $1.6b Beach Road site

Guoco Midtown will be a 960,000 sqft mixed-use development.

GuocoLand unveiled the concept of Guoco Midtown, which will be a 960,000 sqft mixed-use development on the Beach Road site, which it won for $1.6b on September 2017.

According to an announcement, GuocoLand will build Seawater Street which is an internal street for the low-rise public spaces and establishments. Seawater Street can also be closed to vehicles during the weekends so that it can link up all the various public spaces to become a large event space to host more than 2,000 people.

The whole development comprises 10 different plazas and gardens on levels 1, 2, 3, 7, 15 and 30; six of which are open to the public, GuocoLand said. Altogether, they form more than 170,000 sqft of landscape and public spaces, and more than 34,000 sqft of vertical greenery.

GuocoLand will also build a 770,000 sqft premium 30-storey Grade A office tower. About 15% of the net lettable area has been set aside for flexible and adaptable spaces. There will also be two floors for tenants to set up ‘innovation laboratories’ or experimental start-ups.

Midtown Bay, the residential concept of Guoco Midtown, will also house over 200 units.

GuocoLand group president and CEO Raymond Choong said, “When it is completed in the first half of 2022, Guoco Midtown will be a premium, vibrant business and lifestyle destination, attracting a dynamic community that will rejuvenate and reposition Beach Road.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
