News Release
NEWS RELEASE 16 November 2006 TRIBECA BY THE WATERFRONT – LIVE IN THE HEART OF IT ALL City Developments Limited (CDL) will soft launch this weekend – Tribeca by the waterfront, its latest freehold residential development at Kim Seng Road. Perched alongside the Singapore River, this premium parcel exemplifies riverside city living at its finest. Comprising a 30-storey residential block with 175 studio to four-bedroom apartments and penthouses, the units are positioned only from the fifth-storey upwards, affording residents magnificent views of the city and the charming meandering river. Tribeca is slated to be an architectural icon, with the sleek curve of its main façade, echoing the gentle undulation of the nearby river. The modern curve of the tower is further accentuated by glazing, which creates a shimmering glass-like effect. Strategically located within close proximity to the Central Business District (CBD), Tribeca will be the private oasis of the discerning. Lush tropical landscaping throughout the development creates the ambience of an urban oasis. The gentle trickling of water from a specially designed landscape feature greets residents and visitors at the entrance, while strategically placed overhead trellises both decorate and provide shade. The distinctive 40-metre lap pool with a full range of condo-facilities, complete the resort-spa experience. Take a short stroll away to Great World City or catch a fast ride to the CBD via river taxi, or enjoy an endless array of shopping, dining and entertainment options, with Orchard Road, Robertson Quay, Clarke Quay, the arts and civic centre just mere minutes away. Formerly named “The Pharos by the Waterfront”, derived from the word “Pharaoh”, the title used by ancient Egyptians for their ruler, to reflect the site’s etymology (King’s Centre – Plot 3), the development has since been renamed to better describe the vibrancy of the riverside area.
