CapitaGreen in Singapore CBD to be completed by 2014

CapitaLand expects a 20% saving in construction time in reducing the normal completion period of 39 to 40 months to 32 months.

According to a release, CapitaLand, CapitaCommercial Trust and Mitsubishi Estate Asia, the joint venture partners for the redevelopment of Market Street Car Park into a new iconic Grade A office tower announced that the development schedule has crossed a milestone and is on track to complete by the fourth quarter of 2014.

Demolition of the car park was completed in December 2011 and this morning, a ground-breaking ceremony was held at the Market Street site to signify that construction has begun. A new name for the development, “CapitaGreen”, was unveiled at the groundbreaking event, together with a change of address to 138 Market Street. The ground-breaking ceremony was graced by Minister of State for National Development and Manpower, Mr Tan Chuan-Jin.

Improving Productivity in the Construction Industry

In order to improve the construction productivity in this mega project, the project is awarded to Takenaka Corporation, a design-and-build contractor. We envisage a 20% saving in construction time in reducing the normal completion period of 39 to 40 months to 32 months.

CapitaGreen has a net lettable area of about 700,000 square feet, with a typical floor plate ranging from 20,000 square feet to 25,000 square feet. There will be greenery on every floor, sky terraces on two levels, and a roof garden with a restaurant nestled among the trees for a “sky forest” dining experience.

The ground floor will feature a sheltered public plaza with art sculptures. With the inclusion of numerous state-of-the-art energy-saving features, the completed office tower is designed to achieve the Green Mark Platinum award, the highest accolade in recognising environmentally-friendly buildings from the Building & Construction Authority of Singapore.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
