Woods Square is a newly-built integrated commercial development located at the heart of Woodlands Regional Centre, which is poised to be the next economic hub in Singapore’s North region under the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s Master Plan 2019. The 66,991-square metre development combines landscaping that harmonises with its existing natural surroundings while meeting the demand for compact office spaces and a non-conventional work environment.
Greenery is key to its architectural design blueprint, which dovetailed with the Government’s holistic plan to develop a corridor of extensive green in the North. Key sustainable features of the development include 100 per cent green replacement of the original green land by incorporating extensive sky terraces and a sky deck bridging South Woodlands Way Road, and the provision of green courtyards at the ground level.
Directly linked to Woodlands Civic Centre and Woodlands MRT Station through Causeway Point, Woods Square comprises four towers with Small Office Loft Office (SOLO) units (46 to 168 square metres) and office units (51 to 2,381 square metres); retail and dining outlets; and a childcare centre. It also houses a business centre with an auditorium, theatrette, meeting spaces as well as recreational facilities, including a gymnasium and swimming pool for office workers.
With the digitally-transformed workplace in mind, the development is equipped with smart technologies and features accessible via a mobile application for occupiers and guests. The app allows for real-time wayfinding to office lobbies, amenities and retail shops, and also features a real-time parked car locator. Apart from cardless building access, office workers can also gain remote access to e-concierge services; circulars and notices; facility bookings; season parking; and cardless visitor invitations.
Woods Square was announced the World Gold Winner in the Office category of the Fédération Internationale des Administrateurs de Bien-Conselis Immobiliers (FIABCI) World Prix d’Excellence Awards 2022. This win marks the 13th award for Far East Organization, the developer, in the FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards programme, which recognises excellence in real estate projects. The development was also awarded the Singapore Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) Green Mark Gold Plus Award in 2018, recognising its best practices in environmental design and performance. – Construction+ Online
