Located at the junction of Orchard Road and Scotts Road in Singapore, it features the flagship Lido Cineplex for the Shaw Organisation, a major shopping mall with Isetan as an anchor tenant, and two office buildings.

Lido Cinema was constructed in 1958 as a 10-storey office block,[1] and was officially opened by Lim Yew Hock on 22 November 1958.

This project, which was the Shaw Organisation's largest in Singapore to date, was completed in 1993 after three years of construction.

The IMAX theatre officially opened on 19 May 2011 to screen its first film, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
