Keppel South Central
The success of buildings—and the people who use them—is often measured by performance. Yet the environments where people live and work should also support the health of the body, the mind, and the planet. NBBJ created a vision, master plan and concept for the 32-story Keppel South Central mixed-use development, which marries distinct architecture with a focus on sustainability and energy efficiency. The resulting design represents the future of work, reimagining the office typology through restorative spaces and connection to nature, fresh air, and opportunities for social interaction.
Located at the intersection of three diverse neighborhoods—Chinatown, Everton Park and Tanjong Pagar—the development serves as a nexus, with a large public plaza that acts as the social heart of the project. The design features a mix of traditional office floors, alternative workspaces and public amenities such as cafes, restaurants, sky terraces and health facilities, blurring indoors and outdoors to create an atmosphere that is conducive to innovation, creativity and well-being. When completed, the development will serve as a visual landmark for the district’s skyline, as well as a central place for tenants and the community to meet and gather with its many street-level public amenity spaces.
Features
Keppel South Central’s double curtainwall filters sunlight and recycles HVAC air, reducing heat gain by 40% below code. Rooftop photovoltaics power lighting and exterior air fans, while rainwater collected from the building’s environmental veil is reused for landscape irrigation. The tower’s performance-driven design earned Singapore’s highest sustainability rating—Green Mark Platinum (Super Low Energy).
