Suntec City is a major mixed-use development located in Marina Centre, a subzone of the Downtown Core in Singapore, which combines a shopping mall, office buildings, and a convention centre. Construction began on 18 January 1992 and was completed on 22 July 1997.

Design

Suntec City Fountain of Wealth.

Suntec City was designed by Tsao & McKown Architects[1] with emphasis on Chinese feng shui. The five buildings and the convention center are arranged so that they look like a left hand when viewed aerially.[1] The Fountain of Wealth appears like a golden ring in the palm of the hand. As the fountain is made of bronze, it is believed that the balance of metal and water paves the way for success. Further, the specially selected Chinese name, 新达, means "new achievement".[2]

History

On 17 December 1987, the Singapore government announced the building of a exhibition and convention centre in Marina Centre.[3] The tender was put up by Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and closed on 16 August 1988.[4] Three companies submitted bids for the tender: Suntec City Development Pte Ltd, a joint bid by Kuok Ltd, Shangri-La Hotel, and UOL Investment Holdings, and Sino International Real Estate Agency Ltd.[5] Suntec City Development was headed by Suntec Investment, a Singapore based investment company formed in 1986, consisting of Hong Kong tycoons such as Run Run Shaw, Li Ka-shing and Frank Tsao.[6] Kuok Ltd was headed by Robert Kuok, a Malaysian billionaire and businessman.[5] Sino International Real Estate Agency was headed by Ng Teng Fong, a Singaporean real estate tycoon.[5]

In December 1988, it was announced that Suntec City Development won the bid and it had to finish constructing the Convention and Exhibition Centre within four and a half years while the remaining office blocks in ten years.[7]
