New Iconic Mixed-use Development by CDL

City Development is redeveloping its Central Mall properties and the surrounding area into an ambitious large-scale mixed-use development. This follows its acquisition of the former Central Square beside Central Mall for SGD$315 million.

Union Square Residences (former Central Square) is the residential component of the new iconic mixed-use development under the URA Strategic Development Incentive (SDI) Scheme – CDL is redeveloping all three sites under this scheme. Other than Union Square Residences, this new mixed-use development by CDL will compromise Union Square and Union Square Central, which form the commercial development with retail shops and office space. 

CDL has an established track record for delivering mixed-use developments and large-scale projects. Under the CBD Incentive Scheme, CDL has started the redevelopment of the former Fuji Xerox Towers. Located at 80 Anson Road, it will be rebuilt into Newport Plaza, a 45-storey mixed-use project. There will be retail and office components (Newport Tower), and a residential component that includes the 246-unit Newport Residences.

Unparalleled Connectivity at Union Square Residences

Few estates can compare with the level of connectivity offered at Union Square Residences. Its strategic location enables easy access to all forms of public transportation. Bus stops at the doorstep provide plenty of services, including a direct bus route to the heart of the Orchard shopping district.

More importantly, the mixed-use development is a short stroll away from Clarke Quay MRT on the North-East Line (NEL). Located around 400m from Union Square, Clarke Quay conveniently links commuters to other MRT lines – Downtown Line (DTL) via Chinatown MRT, Circle Line (CCL) and North-South Line (NSL) via Dhoby Ghaut MRT.

Union Square Residences is also supported by an extensive road network. Given its central location, it’d only take residents a short 10-minute drive to reach the Raffles Place and Downtown CBDs. With access to many major roads and the Central Expressway (CTE), residents will always have the luxury of options when driving, particularly when trying to avoid areas with heavy traffic.
