Here we present the launch of the upcoming Canninghill Piers Singapore. Canninghill is a new integrated development that includes a retail component Canninghill Square, and Canninghill Piers condo offering 696 residential units.
This project is being built on the site of the old Liang Court at River Valley, nestled between Fort Canning Hill and the Singapore River.

It has hence been named to reflect its (rather rare) river and hill dual-frontages. Canninghill Piers is also next door to, and directly connected to Fort Canning MRT station on the Downtown Line.
This will be the tallest residential development along the river, with stand-out design by Danish architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group.
The developers behind this promising project are two heavyweights, City Developments Limited (CDL) and Capitaland Limited. Their redevelopment of their Liang Court asset is a timely move that complements the ongoing rejuvenation of the Singapore River planning area.

Besides the 2-storey commercial podium to be managed by CapitaMall, Canninghill Square will integrate the 21-storey Moxy Hotel operated by Marriott International, and 20-storey serviced residences with hotel licence.

Canninghill Piers Singapore . The Design
This integrated development is proposed to span 100,263 square metres, close to 1.1 million square feet of total floor space.
The overall design will comprise four towers of differing heights. Two will be residential towers, facing each other diagonally. The other two will be the hotel and serviced residences blocks. All will sit on the double-storey retail and F&B podium, Canninghill Square.

The four towers will be spaced apart, so as to maximise views, and to allow the courtyard at the centre of the retail podium to open up to the sky.
An outstanding aspect of the design will be a flowing drape across the facade. This is sculpted to tie the towers together visually and give it a strong architectural identity.
Parts of this drape are lifted at intervals to reveal green spaces and communal areas at various heights, and entrances into the buildings.

The landscaping at Canninghill Piers will reflect its surroundings, extending the lush greenery of Fort Canning Park to its own sky terraces.
At the same time, part of the road that now separates the site from the river, will be transformed into a riverfront promenade. This will merge seamlessly with the vibrant Clarke Quay lifestyle precinct along the stretch there.
Cross-Section with Fort Canning and Singapore River
In future, residents will be able to hike from Fort Canning Hill to Pearl’s Hill City Park through the river, as envisaged under the URA master plan.

Canninghill Square Singapore . The Numbers
The Capitaland and CDL venture partners will jointly own both the residential and commercial components in equal shares, 50:50.
CDL Hospitality Trusts (CDLHT) will own the hotel, to be operated by Marriott International under the Moxy brand. Ascott Residence Trust (Ascott Reit) will take over ownership of the 192-unit serviced residences and retain its Somerset branding.

The former Somerset at Liang Court offered 197 apartment units. The new Somerset serviced residences will provide 192 units, with more efficient room sizes and layouts. Over half of the units will be one and two bedders, to cater to business executives and expatriates on long stays. And with its hotel licence, it will be able to accommodate travellers on short stays as well.
As part of the redevelopment of the site, the consortium intends to refurbish the promenade that skirts the bank of the Singapore River beside the project. This will help to improve pedestrian accessibility, and attract more footfall. It should also generate more social activity, which is very much in line with URA’s master plan for ramping up the vibrancy of the area around the river.
Artist’s Impression . Canninghill Piers and the City Skyline
Indeed its position, with dual-frontages onto Fort Canning and the Singapore River, makes this a rather special location. On one side, Fort Canning Park is a well-loved historical landmark. On the other, the Singapore River is a vibrant icon in the heart of Singapore – known for its lifestyle, heritage and cultural offerings.
Situated as it is in Clarke Quay, Canninghill Piers is right in the middle of one of Singapore’s most popular riverfront entertainment and lifestyle precincts. That also places it on the fringe of the Central Business District. In fact within a nice walk from it along the river promenade.
The site is easily accessible to public transport given its direct link to Fort Canning MRT Station, and the short walk to Clarke Quay MRT Station on the North East Line. For those who crave a spot of greenery or quiet, a pedestrian bridge provides direct access to Fort Canning Park.

Canninghill Piers Singapore . Vision
The consortium partners behind this project have a clear vision of the potential and plans for this site. In the press release announcing the redevelopment of Liang Court, they made the following statements.
CDL’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr Sherman Kwek:
“… we are honoured to be partnering CapitaLand on yet another integrated development that will redefine Clarke Quay, one of Singapore’s most exciting entertainment precincts. With multiple frontages, breathtaking views and convenient access to Fort Canning MRT Station, the Liang Court site has outstanding locational attributes for an integrated development comprising residential, commercial, hotel and serviced residence components. By harnessing the strengths and capabilities of all the partners involved, we plan to transform the site into an iconic landmark along the Singapore River.”

The CapitaLand Group President for Singapore & International, Mr Jason Leow:
“Liang Court sits on a prime site with a coveted dual-frontage facing Singapore River and Fort Canning Hill. Its redevelopment offers CapitaLand a prized opportunity to deliver an upmarket, high-rise riverfront residential development that comes with stunning views of Singapore River and the city centre.
The commercial component of the integrated development will be seamlessly connected to Clarke Quay, offering residents the convenience of top-notch F&B and retail offerings right on their doorstep. Drawing on CapitaLand’s extensive experience in creating award-winning integrated developments, we will harness our partnership with CDL to shape the property into a fresh focal point along the Singapore River for local and international visitors of all ages.”

Neither CapitaLand nor CDL are newcomers to this precinct. In the vicinity of the Singapore River, CapitaLand has a stake in Park Hotel Clarke Quay, as well as in Clarke Quay Mall. CDL owns and operates Central Mall at Magazine Road, a retail-cum-office development.
So both have extensive experience in initiatives to bring vibrancy & buzz to the neighbourhood, that play their part to spearhead the Singapore River One pilot Business Improvement District.

Canninghill Piers Condo Site Plan
Canninghill Square Singapore occupies a roughly squarish site within the Clarke Quay enclave at River Valley. This place is one of the rare launches with fairly open views around it.
It fronts directly onto River Valley Road to its north-east, across which is the greenery of Fort Canning Park. Units facing this direction will have clear unblocked park views for quite a way, towards Orchard Road in the distance.
To its north-west across Clarke Quay lane is Fort Canning MRT station, which is underground. On part of the land above that is a low rise commercial building, ITS Centre.
Clark Quay lane turns around to hug the south-west of the project as well. This side fronts the Singapore River, which offers potential for creating a more lively and vibrant scene here, than the former Liang Court design did.
Tan Tye Place on the south-east of Canninghill Square separates it from 3B Clarke Quay. The latter comprises conserved warehouses, that have been refurbished into retail & dining spaces that exude character and charm.
Canninghill Piers Condominium . Views
Given the low-rise conservation precinct to the south-east, and the river to its south-west, units on the south of the site should get quite good views too.
At 180 metres high, the 48-storey residential tower fronting the river will be the tallest residential project along the Singapore River. The other 100 metre tall, 24-storey residential tower will front River Valley and overlook Fort Canning Hill.
Altogether they will house 696 apartment units. These span a wide range of unit types, from one bedders to 5-bedroom premium apartments, Sky Suites and even a Super Penthouse.
Canninghill Piers Site Plan . Level 24
The two towers will be connected by a sky bridge at the 24th floor, offering a number of lifestyle facilities like an Infinity Lap Pool, a Sky Gym, Sky Gourmet, Function Room, and Flexi Lounge.
Panoramic View from Actual Site at Approximately 24th Floor Level
At such a height, these facilities will enjoy unobstructed views of Fort Canning Hill, and over the river to the Central Business District (CBD), Marina Bay, and beyond.
Similarly, the Sky Club, a luxury clubhouse spanning over 1,900 square feet of space at the 24th floor together with the Sky Garden, will come with panoramic views of Marina Bay.

The rest of the facilities will be spread over Level 3. These include an adventure-themed child’s play area, a bouldering wall, and an outdoor jogging track, all set amidst lush landscaping.

CANNINGHILL PIERS PRICE RANGES
The Canninghill Piers prices are not finalised yet. Just drop us a line via the Contact Form if you wish us to keep you updated on the indicative pricing.
Liang Court was owned by CapitaLand Limited (CapitaLand), City Developments Limited (CDL), Ascott Residence Trust (Ascott Reit), and CDL Hospitality Trusts (CDLHT). For the redevelopment, CDLHT sold its total interest in Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay to the CDL-Capitaland consortium partners, and Ascott Reit sold part of its interest in Somerset Liang Court Singapore to CDL.
Hence unlike Government Land Sales (GLS) or en bloc collective sales sites, where the purchase price of the land is used as a guide to the possible selling price of the new launch, there is no such data in this case.
The closest guides would therefore likely be the selling price of current launches in the vicinity. Of these, the nearest and most comparable is the 99-year leasehold Rivière, also part of an integrated development, up the Singapore River. Rivière has recently been selling at around $2,5xx to $2,8xx PSF.
Do note however, that property prices are currently rising. Partly fuelled by rising land costs, that reflects developers’ optimistic outlook on private home demand, and continuing hunger for land.
This was especially cast into the limelight by record-high bids for the GLS tender closings on 22 July 2021.
In the tender, a unit of GuocoLand topped the bidding for a Lentor mixed development site at $1,204 PSF. Assuming development costs add another $600 PSF, analysts expect selling price to be close to $2,000 PSF.
A month earlier in June, a UOL joint venture had clinched a residential site in Ang Mo Kio for a record high then too. At close to $1,118 PSF, analysts were predicting sale pricing of about $1,900 PSF.
From which it would appear that 99 year leasehold OCR (Outside Central Region) homes near MRT stations are climbing to close to $2,000 PSF.
If that is the case, we would expect pricing in the RCR (Rest of Central Region) zone to rise in tandem. And even more so for integrated developments in the Central Region.

- Location.
The Canninghill Square site is situated in the lifestyle enclave of Clarke Quay, between River Valley Road and the Singapore River. Clarke Quay is a unique historical landmark known for its conservation warehouses and shophouses, that have been transformed into delightful retail spaces and F&B outlets.
Overall this is quite a prime location on the fringe of the Orchard Road shopping district, and just up-river from the central business district of Raffles Place / Shenton Way / Marina Bay.
- F&B, Retail, Banking, Supermarkets, Hotels.
Being located within an integrated development, Canninghill condo residents will of course, get most amenities right at their own doorstep. While the retail tenant mix has not been selected yet, it is likely to include a supermarket, and certainly plenty of dining outlets and shops. It will have also have its own hotel.
Apart from that, the Canninghill Piers location is close to a variety of F&B and shopping places, and hotels and boutique hotels nearby, many of which line the river. Some interesting ones include the upcoming Fraser Residence Promenade mixed development on the former Zouk site, the beautifully refurbished Warehouse hotel from an old godown, and riverside dining at Robertson Quay.
Quite conveniently, a bridge called Ord Bridge crosses Singapore River at this point. Across the river, a promenade runs along the bank, going down to Boat Quay, and Raffles Place and the CBD. So Canninghill condo residents can cycle or walk to work if so inclined.
- Lifestyle Amenities.
The Canninghill location being at Clarke Quay, is right in the middle of the Singapore River Lifestyle Corridor that includes Boat Quay downstream, and Robertson Quay upstream. All three are popular entertainment hotspots, with a choice of speciality cafes, hotel restaurants, bistros and pubs, alfresco dining, wine bars, and art houses.
They exude an appealing hang loose ambience and cosmopolitan vibe, set against the old world charm and rich character of the conservation godowns and shophouses along the quays. It makes for an attractive place for an intimate dinner by the river, or for relaxing with friends and colleagues after work.
- Schools.
For those who want to be within 1 KM of a good primary school, the Canninghill Piers location would suit them. River Valley Primary School at River Valley Close is just within the 1km radius.
Further afield within the 2 km radius, there are Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) at Winstedt Road and St Margaret’s Primary at Wilkie Road.
- Nearest MRT Station.
The Canninghill Piers location has the advantage of being right beside, and directly connected to Fort Canning MRT station on the Downtown Line. This line goes straight down to Chinatown and Telok Ayer from this point, and on to Downtown and Bayfront stations at Marina Bay. That is less than 10 minutes by train, which makes it very convenient for those working in the CBD.
- Accessibility.
The Canninghill location lies in the Core Central Region (CCR), on the fringe of Singapore’s central business and financial district. It is within 10 minutes drive off-peak to Raffles Place / Marina Bay / Tanjong Pagar, which should attract potential tenants from offices there. This place also offers quick access to the expressway network through the Central Expressway (CTE), via Clemenceau Avenue.
