Clarke Quay

Clarke Quay Festival Village, the biggest conservation project for the Singapore River, was developed and officially opened on 10 December 1993.

Ten years later, works were commenced to revamp the Clarke Quay area to give the place a better tenant mix.

The firm was commissioned to redesign the shophouse facades, streetscapes and riverfront dining areas in two development phases.

The newly redeveloped Clarke Quay consistently attracts over 2 million visitors a year and is a major social and tourist component of brand Singapore.

Crucial to its success is the ingenious moderation of the micro-climate through the design of sophisticated shading and cooling systems which reduce the ambient temperature by 4 degrees Celsius while enhancing the riverfront and streets with tremendous visual interests.

A new SOHO concept development cum shopping centre called Clarke Quay Central, above the MRT station, was completed in 2007.

[5] The exercise included upgrading of the Angel Canopies over the inner streets for better thermal control and lower energy usage.

Another anchor tenant, The Arena, will be home to Singapore's First Permanent Illusion Show (starting August 2008) starring J C Sum and 'Magic Babe' Ning.

[6] The G-MAX reverse bungee, the first in Singapore, is located at the entrance which opened in November 2003. Notable restaurants and nightclubs include Hooters and Indochine.
