Golden Mile Complex

Golden Mile Complex is both a commercial and residential property located between the Beach Road and Nicoll Highway. As one of the government’s urban renewal projects, Golden Mile Complex has transformed to an exemplary mega structure resembling a giant typewriter when viewed from Nicoll Highway. The stepped-terrace architectural design of the Complex makes it a colossal edifice in Singapore, as it gives a panoramic view of the sky and the sea as it is facing the Kallang Basin.

The redevelopment of Beach Road for the project started in 1967 and was completed in 1973. The 16-floor complex is about 89 meters tall, accommodating 411 shops and 500 parking places. The lower floor contains a retail mall and offices while the upper floors contain residential apartments. The building was previously named as Woh Hup Complex. On the 31st October 2018, The Golden Mile Complex was put up for sale, since then many Singaporeans have spoken out about our country’s relationship with built heritage. The future of this development still remains uncertain as there has not been any buyer for this en-bloc sale.
