The history of Singapore is inextricably linked to that of the Singapore River.
From the moment Sir Stamford Raffles stepped foot at its mouth, the British transformed a small fishing village and settlement into a free trading port and changed the fortune of Singapore forever.
Along its banks, immigrants from China, India and other nearby countries flocked here in search of a better fortune. Built in 1823, Boat Quay served as a commercial centre for barges to transport goods upstream to the warehouses at Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay along the Singapore River. Commerce and trading flourished along the jetties and piers, paving the way for greater financial success.
In 1977, an ambitious project to clean up the Singapore River gave the river a much-needed makeover and 10 years later, schools of fish have returned to its waters.
The result was a clean and sparkling river, flanked by a 6km promenade and river wall. Even the old quays and warehouses were metamorphosed into entertainment and retail zones, offering a multi-sensory lifestyle experience that continues to beckon even till today, transforming the Singapore River precinct into an exciting waterfront lifestyle destination.

CanningHill Piers - Transforming the skyline, enriching the riverine
The centrepiece of the rejuvenated Singapore River will soon be unveiled with the launch of CanningHill Piers.
Designed by world-renowned BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group architecture practice, CanningHill Piers is primely located on the site of the former Liang Court next to the vibrant Clarke Quay. This highly anticipated redevelopment will be reborn as an iconic integrated development, which will set new standards in riverfront living. Comprising two towers of luxury residences, a new concept hotel, serviced residence and CanningHill Square, featuring F&B and retail shops, CanningHill Piers will epitomise what riverside city living is all about.
With rare dual frontage of both Singapore River and Fort Canning Hill, its unique location affords residents stunning views of the CBD and Marina Bay financial districts, a riverside promenade and access to two MRT lines at Fort Canning and Clarke Quay MRT Stations, and easy connectivity to the historic Fort Canning Park.
A GREEN CITY OF PARKS
Once, the highest natural point of the old port city and sacred site of regional royalty and later a military fort, Fort Canning Park has undergone delicate preservation and sensitive enhancements with family-friendly Jubilee Park and its play gardens, discovery rain gardens, see saw logs, trampolines and hillside slides.
In addition, the Foothills, an extension of Fort Canning Park, features F&B offering and flexible event spaces, adding even more vibrancy to this elevated green lung area.
Longer term considerations are also in the works to create a continuous hill-to-hill connection from Fort Canning Park to Pearl’s Hill City Park by Chinatown via the Singapore River.

TRANSFORMING THE OLD AND REDEFINING THE NEW
With so much to enjoy today and even more to look forward to, CanningHill Piers is the perfect nexus of hillside and riverfront living – and an exciting next chapter of the Singapore River story.
