Destinations

Opening in September as the Stamford Place lifestyle destination – a familiar landmark in Singapore’s Civic District begins a new chapter as a vibrant mixed-use destination that blends living, working, dining, and social connection under one roof. It brings together APT., a new boutique serviced apartment, hospitality-inspired workspaces by The Great Room by Industrious, and a carefully curated mix of dining, retail and art.

At the corner of Stamford Road and Hill Street, Stamford Place occupies the former Stamford Court, a familiar four-storey landmark crowned by the clock tower that has kept watch over the neighbourhood since 1996. Its story stretches back even further to Eu Court, the 1920s Art Deco apartment building commissioned by philanthropist and entrepreneur Eu Tong Sen. Layered with memories of a changing city, Stamford Place honours what came before while giving the site renewed purpose, allowing its history to live on as part of Singapore’s evolving story. The opening marks a new chapter in the evolution of Singapore’s Civic District, reimagining a familiar landmark as a destination where heritage, hospitality, culture and community come together.

Stamford Place lifestyle destination: A new neighbourhood hub takes shape

Stamford Place is activated by eight food, beverage and retail spaces on the ground level, bringing fresh energy to the district. The handpicked line-up includes well-loved names such as Blue Label Tavern, offering stone-fired pizzas and a new dry-rubbed rotisserie chicken; a new Japanese dining concept, Yoruya; and Cold Storage On The Go, offering convenient access to quality grab-and-go options and everyday essentials for those living and working in the neighbourhood. An array of new concepts will be announced in due course.

Anchoring the ground-floor line-up is Stamford Social, an all-day meeting place inspired by the relaxed café culture and bistros of Europe. Relaxed yet refined, it pairs thoughtful hospitality with a carefully considered and expertly crafted menu, creating an environment where people gather naturally – whether for a morning coffee, business lunch, after-work drinks, dinner with friends or a celebration. More than a restaurant, Stamford Social aims to become a neighbourhood institution and an integral part of the Stamford Place experience.

Giving a Civic District landmark new life

Stamford Place is brought to you by Elevate Capital Group and PGIM, whose shared vision is to reposition the former Stamford Court as “a place shaping the future of urban living in Singapore”, while retaining the character of its landmark architecture. The partnership brings together Elevate Capital Group’s experience in lifestyle-led asset transformation and PGIM’s global real estate investment capabilities.

“Since acquiring the property, our commitment has been to transform this well-located landmark into a destination that meets the evolving needs of our community, while preserving the character and heritage that make the building so distinctive. As the newly rejuvenated Stamford Place opens its doors, we are pleased to see this vision come to life,” said Su Lin Wee, Head of Asset Management for Southeast Asia, Greater China and South Korea, Real Estate, PGIM.

“Stamford Place feels deeply personal. I walked past it every day as a child on my way to school, so returning to shape its next chapter feels like coming full circle. Through this refurbishment, our ambition is to make it a place that belongs to the neighbourhood, while giving people a reason to seek it out – to stay, work, dine and connect,” said Ashish Manchharam, Founder and Managing Partner of Elevate Capital Group.

The design team behind the project are Singapore-based interdisciplinary practice Ministry of Design, in collaboration with Zarch Collaboratives. Together, the design teams have reimagined the landmark through a contemporary interpretation of its architectural heritage, taking inspiration from the building’s iconic clock tower. The geometry, materiality, and measured rhythms of horology inform the design language throughout, creating a unifying thread that connects the site’s past with its next chapter. Art further enriches the experience through a partnership with art and design consultancy The Artling. Stamford Place and APT. open in September 2026, with Stamford Social welcoming its first guests the following month.
