Union Square Residences
Why Union Square Residences
Union Square Residences is City Developments Limited’s (CDL) landmark mixed-use development at the historic intersection of Clarke Quay, the Singapore River, and the CBD — an address that puts residents at the centre of Singapore’s cultural, commercial, and culinary life simultaneously. Rising 40 storeys with 366 luxury residences, Union Square Residences is integrated within Union Square Central, a dynamic precinct combining a 20-storey premium Grade A office tower, a new co-living concept, conservation heritage shophouses, and an activated Central Plaza with ground-floor retail, dining, and community programming.
What was once the gateway to Singapore is now the most coveted urban address: where the CBD’s financial might meets Clarke Quay’s nightlife, Fort Canning Park’s greenery meets Singapore River’s heritage, and Raffles Place MRT meets the Thomson-East Coast Line — all within walking distance.
Clarke Quay — Singapore’s Most Vibrant Riverside Precinct
Walking distance from Raffles Place MRT, Clarke Quay MRT, Fort Canning Park, the National Gallery, and Singapore River’s iconic dining and entertainment strip. Between everywhere that matters.
One Development. Boundless Possibilities.
Residences integrated with a Grade A office tower, co-living, retail, F&B, and a new Central Plaza for events, performances, and community — a true live-work-play ecosystem rarely available at this price point.
CDL — 60+ Years of Premium Delivery

Why Buyers Are Watching
-
1Singapore’s most central live-work-play address. Clarke Quay, Raffles Place, the Singapore River, Fort Canning Park, Gardens by the Bay, and Marina Bay are all reachable on foot or within one MRT stop — a convergence of connectivity that no standalone residential project in Singapore can replicate.
-
2BCA Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy certification. One of the highest sustainability certifications achievable for a Singapore new-launch residential development. Energy efficiency translates to lower utilities bills, higher environmental credentials, and future-proof long-term value.
-
3Mixed-use integration amplifies rental demand. The adjacent Grade A office tower, co-living component, and retail/dining activation create a captive pool of tenant demand from professionals working within the Union Square precinct — a structural rental advantage few condo investments enjoy.
-
4Clarke Quay rejuvenation is actively underway. The ongoing transformation of Clarke Quay — following major F&B reinvestment, event activations, and the upcoming Canninghill Square integration — structurally supports capital appreciation for all residential stock in the precinct over the medium term.
-
5Conservation buildings add irreplicable heritage character. Union Square’s integration of original conservation shophouses within a modern mixed-use development creates a sense of place and aesthetic identity that cannot be replicated by any new GLS development — a permanent differentiator in the secondary market.
-
6CDL developer track record is Singapore’s most documented. City Developments Limited has listed on SGX since 1963 and has delivered more than 50,000 homes globally. Past Singapore landmarks include South Beach Residences, Boulevard 88, Canninghill Piers, and The Sail.
-
7Smart home and smart community systems are integrated across all units. Including smart access control, visitor management, smart locks, digital concierge, and energy monitoring — systems that contribute to operating cost savings and tenant convenience for investor-held units.
-
8Type A1(d) high-ceiling variant is a value differentiator. The 3.75 m ceiling height in the 1-Bedroom Type A1(d) variant is unusual for a Singapore 1-bedroom product at this size — creating a sense of volume and light rarely available at 43 sqm.
