On Dec 10, Perennial Holdings and Far East Organization revealed the next chapter for Golden Mile Complex, an iconic building with a rich history. The developers presented their plans for a revitalized conservation building, now known as Golden Mile Singapore, which will be Singapore’s first large-scale strata-titled conserved building.
The Golden Mile, as it is now called, will be a commercial development featuring 156 office units, 19 medical suites, and a two-storey retail component spanning 123,388 sq ft. It will also have a public access architecture centre. The entire development will retain its tropical linear urban complex with brutalist architecture.
According to Perennial CEO Pua Seck Guan, the Golden Mile Complex was a vibrant and eclectic mix of retail outlets in the 1970s. However, as units changed hands, the building’s status as a prime mixed-use development eroded. Perennial Holdings and Far East Organization are determined to bring back the building’s glory as a next-generation urban complex.
Working with homegrown architecture firm DP Architects and architecture conservation specialist consultancy Studio Lapis, Golden Mile Singapore will feature a revamped two-storey retail atrium, complete with a new event space and F&B offerings. The retail atrium will be designed to bring back natural light and ventilation, recreating the original street-shop style shopping experience. The retail units will not be for sale and will be curated by the developers.
The Golden Mile will also have two new public access urban gardens on the 9th and 18th floors, making use of previously vacant spaces. The roof will be turned into a sky garden, open to the public. The development will also have a 45-storey residential tower called Aurea, with 188 units.

The preview of the strata-titled office units will be launched this month, with six different layouts to cater to a variety of end-users. The units, ranging from Flagship units with two toilets to the newly built Crown Offices taking up the top four floors, will feature modern Grade A office facilities such as a concierge, centralised access control, and a 6m high ceiling. The developers hope to attract a mix of corporate and family office tenants, with a screening process to create an ecosystem of tenants from various industries and market segments.
