THE REEF AT KING’S DOCK

SINGAPORE

King’s Dock was the second largest in the world when it opened in 1913 and, while it no longer performs its original role, it now plays one that is just as important. Mapletree and Keppel Land, the developers behind The Reef at King’s Dock, engaged environmental consulting firm and marine ecology specialist DHI to design the submerged surface of a concrete floating deck – Singapore’s first in a residential development – to enhance the dock’s marine biodiversity. The 180m-long deck will include a marine viewing area to promote environmental awareness and conservation among residents and visitors. As for the residences, there are 429 of them, all leveraging the latest technology to offer perks such as home controls (for door locks, for example) and community management (such as visitor invitations with QR codes). Kitchens are fitted with appliances from Miele and Whirlpool, while bathrooms are equipped with Dornbracht fittings and Geberit bathwares.

Price: from S$2.2 million for a two-bedroom unit via Mapletree or Keppel Land
