The Skywaters, a transformative development designed by the architects of New York’s One World Trade Center, promises new heights in luxury living
Located at the intersection of Singapore’s central business district and Marina Bay at 1 Prince Edward Road, an impressive integrated vertical city with 1.5 million sq ft of floor area is set to dominate the city skyline. Towering 305 metres above ground, The Skywaters will be Singapore’s first super-tall skyscraper – a title reserved for buildings of more than 300 metres, according to the non-profit Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.
The 63-storey Skywaters, estimated to be completed in 2028, will be the Lion City’s tallest landmark, and one of the region’s most coveted addresses. The development’s luxury units, Skywaters Residences, are already attracting strong interest from ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals at home and abroad. Last year, an exclusive penthouse suite at Skywaters Residences sold for a record-setting S$47.3 million (US$37 million), according to Singaporean property portal EdgeProp, while in June, a 5,285 sq ft, five-bedroom unit on the 55th floor sold for S$30.87 million, the portal reported. Both sales exceed the price tag for some recently sold luxury properties in New York’s Manhattan district, which consistently ranks among the world’s most expensive real estate markets with the most UHNW residents.
