CapitaSpring – Layers of Life at 88 Market Street
CapitaSpring doesn’t just add to the skyline—it shifts how people experience it.
At 280 metres tall, this integrated development holds its own among the Central Business District’s tallest towers, offering a layered experience of work, rest, and connection.
Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group and Carlo Ratti Associati, it’s part of a newer generation of buildings that quietly challenge the separation of work from wellness, greenery from glass.
Not Just Another Office Tower
At street level, CapitaSpring doesn’t announce itself loudly.
It blends into the flow of Market Street but opens up once inside. A market-style hawker centre sits above the entrance—an intentional nod to the former Golden Shoe Car Park it replaces.
Above that, Grade A office floors rise with column-free layouts and open ceilings. Occupants can adapt their space without contending with structural interruptions. There’s a quiet freedom in that flexibility.
Office Space with Air and Light
Grade A Flexibility
Each floor spans about 15,000 to 19,000 square feet. Tenants have the choice to build their own configurations or move into pre-fitted options. Double-glazed windows keep the heat out and the views in. In a district where vertical density is expected, CapitaSpring’s floor-to-ceiling windows create a surprising sense of openness.
Quiet Sustainability
This building meets both BCA Green Mark Platinum and LEED Gold standards. You won’t notice the smart sensors or the low-energy systems, and that’s the point. The infrastructure works quietly in the background so the focus remains on what you’re doing—not how the building’s doing it.
Green Pockets in the Sky
The Green Oasis
Between levels 17 and 20, the Green Oasis adds an unexpected touch—four levels of open-air gardens with 80,000 plants. It’s not just decorative. These mid-tower levels encourage informal discussions, afternoon breaks, and walking meetings, away from the desk but still inside the building.
Rooftop Urban Farm
At the top, the Sky Garden holds one of the city’s highest urban farms. Its produce supplies the restaurants within the development. Managed by the team behind 1-Arden, it’s a rare mix of F&B, farming, and fresh air, all woven into one level.
A Place to Pause
Citadines Serviced Residences
The lower eight levels house Citadines—serviced residences fitted with their own amenities. Those staying short-term can use the same lifts, eat at the same hawker centre, and walk through the same gardens. It’s all part of the same vertical rhythm.
Retail, Food, and Transport Access
Retail and dining options fill the lower levels. Market Street Hawker Centre spans two floors. You won’t need to walk far for lunch or a morning kopi. MRT access comes from both Raffles Place and Telok Ayer stations—sheltered all the way through.
The building also includes bike parking and end-of-trip facilities. For those who cycle, these matter more than they’re often given credit for.
