CanningHill Piers will be BIG’s first residential project to be completed in Asia.

Concept And Design Overview

With the dense history of Fort Canning Hill, it is belived that it was once the centre of ancient Singapore that thrived in the 14th Century and was occupied by a palace with various buildings of political, religious and commercial significance.

Today, the site plays an important role in some of the key strategies identified for the URA 2019 Materplan to create a delightful neighbourhowalk from hill to hill (Fort Canning Park to Pearl’s Hill City Park)

• Enhancing connectivity to the Singapore River
• Reinforcing the unique image of a waterfront city in a garden
• Connecting parks and open spaces

Given the historic importance of the relationship between Fort Canning Hill and the Singapore River, the redevelopment of the site has been an opportunity to create a stronger visual connection between park-space-buildings-river as well as physical connection between the park and podium, and podium and river, in order to create an open and porous public realm.

Using grid form as a drape and unifyling element, the iconic design not only defines the landmark tower, but also projects an inviting attractive force to people.

Sky bridges are created as connectors between towers and amenites that also brings out the beautiful cityscapes and river views.  The lush sky terraces are strategically orientated to unveil the greenery of the surroundings that allows for a coherent reading of common social and amenity spaces.

Canninghill Piers Residence

Canninghill Piers will be the tallest residential development along the Singapore River, at 180 metres tall with 48-storey. The other 24-storey residential tower overlooking Fort Canning Hill stands at 100 metres. The two residential towers are connected by an iconic sky bridge on Level 24, with a wide range of lifestyle facilities such as the Infinity Lap Pool, Sky Gym, Sky Gourmet, Function Room and Flexi Lounge offering unobstructed views of Fort Canning Hill, Singapore River, the Central Business District (CBD), Marina Bay and beyond.

On Level 3, more amenities and vantage points await residents, where an outdoor jogging track, a bouldering wall and an adventure-themed children’s play area can be found amidst verdant landscaping.

On Level 45, The Sky Club, a luxurious clubhouse spanning over 1,900 square feet (sq ft), unveils a breath-taking views of Marina Bay, together with the Sky Garden.

Canninghill Piers has a wide selection of unit types from one- to five-bedroom premium apartments, Sky Suites and a Super Penthouse, ranging in size from approximately 410 to 8,950 sq ft.

Moxy Hotel & Service Residence At Canninghill Piers

The commercial developement at Canninghill Piers includes Moxy brand by Marriott International and a serviced residence with a hotel licence operated under the Somerset brand.

The architectural design evisages four towers of different heights – a pair of diagonally-facing residential towers and one each for the hotel and serviced residence – set atop a double-storey commercial podium. All four towers are distinctly spaced apart from each other to maximise views and allow the courtyard at the heart of the commercial podium to open to the sky. A single continuous drape adorning the façade ties the various components together into an iconic and sculptural whole. Strategic parts of the façade drape are lifted to unveil building entrances, communal areas and green spaces at various heights, creating a strong and unified architectural icon for the integrated development.
