About The Golden Mile
Honouring The Heritage Of An Iconic Landmark, Embracing Change For An Enduring Legacy
A pioneering vertical and linear city, Golden Mile Complex was one of Singapore’s first integrated mixed-use developments. This cherished iconic architectural landmark, recognisable for its signature stepped terrace design, was also the first post-independence modernist building to be gazetted for conservation. Preserving its architectural heritage while elevating the building to meet today’s needs and regulatory standards, Golden Mile Complex, now known as The Golden Mile, has been thoughtfully rejuvenated with respect to its history. The conserved building offers a vibrant lifestyle destination featuring enhanced retail offerings, diverse culinary options, flexible medical suites and offices in various sizes and configurations to meet a wide range of business needs. An Architecture Centre is also introduced in The Golden Mile to inspire greater appreciation of Singapore’s architectural heritage.
An Iconic Landmark’s Journey Through Time
Golden Mile Complex was the blueprint that reflected Singapore’s bold vision for the future. In the first Sales of Sites programme in the late 1960s, Golden Mile Complex was the pioneering commercial land sale. Completed in 1973, the nation’s first integrated vertical and linear city with an innovative stepped terrace design was home to 360 retail outlets, 200 offices and 72 residential apartments. Recognised for its architectural and historical significance as a post-independence modernist building, Golden Mile Complex became the first strata-titled mixed-use development in Singapore to be gazetted for conservation in 2021. A consortium’s acquisition in May 2022 for $700m marks a new beginning for the iconic landmark, now known as The Golden Mile.

2024-An Iconic Monument Returns
The national and architectural icon returns to the skyline rejuvenated as a prestigious mixed-use development. Along with a new residential tower named Aurea, The Golden Mile extends an unrivalled legacy to secure its place in history.
Paying Homage To The Past, A New ERA Takes Shape
The Golden Mile rejuvenation process involves a carefully planned preservation, accentuation and restoration of its historical fabric and architectural elements that meet today’s building regulations, with sensitively managed adaptive changes to create a vibrant and contemporary business and community hub, incorporating retail shops, restaurants, medical suites, offices and an Architecture Centre. Aurea, a new residential tower, will be built adjacent to The Golden Mile and connected by an elevated link bridge. A name inspired by the Latin word ‘Golden’, Aurea’s design philosophy pays homage to the design language and spirit of The Golden Mile. Linear bands, aligned Datum lines, Oculus design elements and spacious balconies honour The Golden Mile’s original heritage and architectural integrity. Collectively known as Golden Mile Singapore, this integrated development continues to pay tribute to the initial live-work-play philosophy envisioned in the design of Golden Mile Complex by bringing together new communities and continuously injecting the precinct with exciting activities and offerings. Golden Mile Singapore is the integrated development that is set to refresh and transform the entire precinct.

An Architectural Masterpiece Steeped In History And Poised For The Future
The Golden Mile returns revitalised, with a carefully planned conservation process focusing on restoring and accentuating its historic building fabric and elements, including the distinctive iconic stepped terrace design, naturally ventilated atrium, Oculus-shaped protrusions, façade bands and mosaic tiled flooring. Adaptive changes including the additions of four new floors of modern office workspaces and a new landscaped garden floor atop the building, are sensitively integrated to meet contemporary needs while respecting the building’s historic character. This dynamic integration of old and new creates a future-proof and energised lifestyle hub, featuring thematic gardens, diverse retail experiences, curated culinary options, medical suites, office workspaces and an Architecture Centre.
Conserving The Past, Building A Sustainable Future
The greenest building is one that already exists. The Golden Mile minimises its environmental footprint and maximises energy efficiency with innovative and intelligent sustainability design features. Upgraded building systems to present-day Green Mark Platinum standards enhance energy optimisation and sustain an iconic landmark for the future. With a blend of energy-efficient materials & technologies, and by leveraging sensible architectural design, the building traps less heat within and draws more natural light in to consume less energy for cooling and lighting.
Invigorate In A Tapestry Of Verdant Sanctuaries
The Golden Mile elevates the office experience by integrating lushly landscaped gardens on multiple levels (3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 16 & 18). These green spaces create a striking juxtaposition against the premium office environment and promote a harmonious connection with nature for the office occupants and visitors. Integrated with walking paths, resting pods and viewing decks, selected thematic gardens (levels 5, 9 & 18) embrace biophilic design principles with a wide array of flora to provide The Golden Mile’s office occupants with the perfect sanctuaries for rejuvenation, connection with nature and refreshment of their minds.
