Dynamic Developments

Frasers Centrepoint Limited (FCL) is one of Singapore’s leading residential property developers boasting an impressive portfolio that spans 15 countries across Asia, Australasia, Europe and the Middle East. Besides its success in the residential arena, the company also owns and operates a growing number of retail malls, office and high-tech business spaces internationally.

 

The property player’s assets total almost S$10 billion, comprising various businesses: Frasers Centrepoint Homes (residential), Frasers Centrepoint Commercial (commercial properties and asset and funds management), Frasers Hospitality (serviced residences), and Frasers Property (overseas developments).

Beautifully-finished Homes

Having built more than 13,000 homes in Singapore to date, Frasers Centrepoint Homes’ success formula stems from its strong focus on developing homes near major hubs and transportation networks. The projects are also beautifully finished to the highest specifications and standards, with innovative features.

 

In 2010, Frasers Centrepoint successfully launched Esparina Residences, the first executive condominium to feature seven thematic spas. It was also the first private developer in Singapore to introduce a sky park when it unveiled phase 3 of its Waterfront Collection, Waterfront Gold, situated on the bank of the scenic Bedok Reservoir. The freehold Flamingo Valley condominium, designed by Japanese star architect Miyake Masaki, draws inspiration from the surrounding Siglap terrain.

 

Frasers Centrepoint stays ahead of the curve when it comes to highend homes as well. Located at the most exclusive addresses on the island, they exude luxury with top-of-the-line finishing and fittings. One such example is the 33-storey St Thomas Suites, with its unique curvilinear facade towering prominently from its hilltop perch. Another high-end condominium, Martin Place Residences
