IOI Central Boulevard Towers to feature ‘largest urban sky park’ in Marina Bay
In September, it was reported that tech firm Amazon.com had authorized a contract for 369,000 sq ft of office space at property.
IOI Central Blvd Towers, the Grade A workplace project by IOI Properties Group in Marina Bay, is slated for completion in 3Q2023. Consisting of two office space towers of 16 and 48 floors overseeing a seven-storey platform, the development is going to have 1.26 million sq ft of workplace and 30,000 sq ft of retail including F&B upon completion.
The park will house a 200m jogging track, noting one more initial in the area and meeting coverings along with peaceful areas for informal conversations or meditation. There will possibly even be an eating establishment where visitors can eat out, overlooking panoramic views of Marina Bay.
According to the property developer, Central Green’s placing as the prime focus of the project is a reaction to increasing interest for offices that prioritise health, welfare, performance and sustainability. “Establishing a green, sustainable future remains in the DNA of IOI Properties Group, and we save no initiative to establish updated benchmarks in metropolitan green constructions with the IOI Central Blvd Towers,” claims Lee Yeow Seng, executive vice chairman of IOI Properties.
Biophilia is an essential part of the development, with a huge portion of the area alloted to plant. This features Central Green, a large 120,000 sq ft park on level 7 of the project. Referred to as the “greatest metropolitan skies park” in the Marina Bay district, Central Green will feature a stretch of landscaping expanding 160m long, or the equivalent of three Olympic-sized swimming pools set end-to-end.
Additional functions at the development include end-of-trip centers for those commuting to the workplace by riding a bike, a child care establishment, efficient workplace designs with column-free layout, and integration of intelligent touchless modern technology at stands including entryways. The property in addition has sheltered connections to four MRT Terminals– Downtown, Marina Bay, Raffles Place and Shenton Method. Connection bridges will connect it to adjoining projects, One Raffles Quay and Asia Square.
According to the developer, Central Green is modelled as a mini Singapore Botanical Gardens or Gardens by the Bay. Greater than 68,000 plants will certainly be placed at the park, with 18 specially-curated types. The plants will blend colours, structures and even kinds to supply a grassy landscape with a visual treat and air-filtering perks.
The property has actually accomplished the Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) Green Mark Platinum Award along with the BCA Universal Design Mark Gold Honor. Karen Lau, IOI Properties’ head of firm, states that the development has actually accomplished a “strong tenancy rate”, which she credits to IOI Central Blvd Towers fulfilling the requirements of the current workforce. “Our style concept has struck a firm chord with the market.”
