W Residences Marina View — Singapore is a landmark. Rising 51 storeys and 237 metres above the Marina Bay waterfront, it is Singapore’s first integrated development pairing ultra-high-end branded residences with a five-star W Hotels property — and one of the tallest residential towers in the republic. Developed by Boulevard Development Pte Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of IOI Properties Singapore, the 683-unit development at 22 Marina View offers residents access to W Hotels’ signature brand services, three distinct amenity levels, and a skyline address that literally sits in the heart of Asia’s most recognisable financial district. This is not just a condominium; it is a statement of how Singapore’s urban landscape is evolving.

Location — Marina Bay: Where Everything is Possible
Marina Bay is arguably the most globally recognised address in Singapore. Home to the Marina Bay Sands integrated resort, Gardens by the Bay, the Esplanade — Theatres on the Bay, ArtScience Museum, and Singapore Flyer, the district anchors Singapore’s identity as Asia’s premier financial, cultural, and lifestyle hub. W Residences Marina View sits at the junction of Union Street and Marina View, placing it in the heart of this tableau. Marina Bay Sands and its Shoppes — featuring Michelin-starred restaurants, high-end retail, and the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool — is within walking distance.
Connectivity is exceptional. Five MRT stations are within proximity: Downtown (DTE), Shenton Way (TEL), Marina Bay (CCL/NSL), Bayfront (CCL/DTL), and Tanjong Pagar (EWL), covering four distinct MRT lines and giving residents multi-directional access to every corner of Singapore. By road, the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) and Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) are directly accessible, facilitating fast connections to Changi Airport, the One-North tech cluster, and Jurong Lake District.
Looking ahead, the IOI Central Boulevard Towers (a major Grade A commercial complex by the same developer) rise directly opposite, ensuring a sustained supply of high-income professional tenants in the immediate vicinity. The upcoming “The Commons” recreational hub will bring greenery and community programming to the immediate neighbourhood. Marina Bay South & East developments and the forthcoming Marina Bay Sands expansion (adding a 15,000-seat arena) will further strengthen the district’s position as Singapore’s premium global address over the next decade.
Development Overview — Singapore’s First Branded W Residence
W Residences Marina View is part of a broader integrated masterplan in which the residential tower sits atop the 360-room W Singapore at Marina View hotel. This integration is crucial to understanding the product’s value proposition: residents gain access to the full W Hotels service suite — concierge, housekeeping services, in-room dining, and hotel amenities — on top of three exclusive residential-only amenity levels (L15, L34, L51) that are, frankly, extraordinary in their range and quality.
The building reaches 237.175 metres at 51 storeys, making it one of Singapore’s tallest residential towers. IOI Properties engaged Architects61 Pte Ltd as project architect, Hachem Singapore Pte Ltd for interior design, and Woh Hup Pte Ltd as main contractor — a formidable team for a flagship project of this ambition. Interior design by Hachem Singapore brings Australian studio sensibility — clean lines, premium materials, considered spatial flow — to the residence interiors.
Unit Mix & Specifications
The 683 residences span a comprehensive range from compact 1-bedroom apartments (50–53 sqm) aimed at affluent young professionals and Marriott Bonvoy investors, through to three extraordinary penthouses of 483–496 sqm with panoramic bay views. The dominant configuration is 2-bedroom (310 units, 45% of the total), reflecting the strong rental demand profile of Marina Bay’s finance and professional community.
Amenities Across Three Dedicated Levels
W Residences Marina View sets a new benchmark for amenity provision in Singapore with three distinct amenity floors spanning the tower’s lower, mid, and upper sections:
Level 15 — The Active Level: A 25-metre Infinity Tranquillity Pool, Sun Deck, Relax Pods, Wet Deck, a fully equipped Fitness Club with concierge, Power Gym, Yoga Room, Splashy Kids’ Pool, Adventure Playground, Outdoor Fitness, Reflexology Path, Wellness Bay, Hydrotherapy Pool, Water Maze, and a Sky View Deck. The steam room in the Level 1 e-deck changing room adds further wellness depth.
Level 34 — The Social Level: Three Gourmet Pavilions ideal for private dining events; a Clubhouse with Sommelier Lounge, Home Cinema Room, Oasis Lounge, Private Dining Lounge, and Golf Simulator; The Lawn; a Reflective Pool; Sculpture Garden; Harmony Corner; Aroma Garden; and multiple Serenade Terraces that offer breathtaking views of the bay.
Level 51 — The Sky Level: A 20-metre Sky Pool with Chill Deck; The Hangout; Sky Club; and the jewel in the crown — a Sky Retreat featuring a Japanese Onsen, Steam Room, Sauna, Meditation Room, Zen Garden, Treatment Room, Rock Garden, and a dedicated Sky Retreat Concierge. This level rivals the amenity offering of a five-star resort, realised at 51 floors above the Marina Bay waterfront.
Beyond the residential-exclusive levels, residents have direct access to the five-star hospitality services of the W Singapore hotel below, including the signature W Hotels concierge team (“Whatever/Whenever” service philosophy), in-room dining, housekeeping packages, and access to hotel F&B outlets and entertainment programming.
Developer Profile — IOI Properties
IOI Properties Group Berhad is a leading Malaysian developer with a growing Singapore presence anchored by the IOI Central Boulevard Towers (one of Singapore’s largest Grade A commercial developments) and Marina View Plot 1 (this development). The Marina View site was awarded to IOI in the GLS programme following a competitive tender, and the developer has committed to delivering a genuinely world-class product at this marquee location. The Marriott Bonvoy brand partnership with W Hotels, a globally recognised luxury lifestyle brand, lends further international credibility and institutional weight to the project.
Investment Considerations
Marina Bay is among the most liquid residential sub-markets in Singapore for high-net-worth investors. Comparable branded residences internationally (Four Seasons, St Regis, Rosewood) command a persistent premium to non-branded product in the same district, and W Residences Marina View will represent the first opportunity in Singapore to access a Marriott-branded residence at scale. For domestic buyers, rental demand from finance professionals, fund managers, and C-suite expatriates in the Shenton Way and Marina Bay financial district is consistently strong — the location’s walk-to-work value proposition for CBD employment is unparalleled in Singapore.
The 342 carpark lots (including 24 active and passive EV-charging lots) and 171 bicycle lots reflect the development’s sustainability commitment and future-proof appeal for a market moving rapidly toward electric vehicles. Smart home technology specifications are still to be confirmed (TBC) at this stage.
Buyer Eligibility & ABSD Implications
As a non-landed strata residential development, W Residences Marina View is open to all buyers including foreigners without separate approvals. The 60% foreign buyer ABSD is the primary consideration for international purchasers — on a S$4 million 2-bedroom unit, a foreign buyer would incur S$2.4 million in ABSD alone. FTA-eligible nationals (US, Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) are, again, treated as Singapore Citizens and pay 0% ABSD on a first property. Worked example: A US citizen buying a 2-bedroom at S$4 million as their first Singapore property pays 0% ABSD and BSD of approximately S$174,600 (total), making the acquisition very significantly more competitive than for a non-FTA foreigner.
