DUO Residences

DUOLocated in the unique Bugis area, one that has been cited for major development, but development that will add to much of its charm not destroy it, DUO is very much at the forefront of that. As well as a 5 star hotel, office space and retail podium, DUO has 660 luxurious residential units based in a distinctive 49 storey tower that overlooks Kampong Glam. Surrounded by a myriad of dining and shopping options for all tastes and budgets, DUO is also connected to Bugis MRT Station via an underground walkway meaning trips to the CBD, Marina Bay and Orchard could not be easier.Owned by Khazanah Nasional Berhad, Malaysia’s strategic investment fund, and Singapore’s investment company called Temasek Holdings Pte. Ltd, M+S Pte Ltd was established in June 2011 to develop Marina One Residences and DUO.DUO – Unique Selling PointsAs you would expect from a M + S development, DUO is very well designed and built with elegant and stylish touches throughout. It also gives a nod to its surrounding area, giving it a unique look and feel. The neighbourhood and surrounding area is crammed with dining, retail and partying options, and has a truly eclectic look and feel that is unique to Singapore. DUO is opposite Kampong Glam, a conserved area, with its winding streets full of quirky boutiques and interesting bars and restaurants.DUO – AccessibilityOne of the attractions of DUO is its proximity to so many retail, entertainment and dining options, but those needing to get away are catered for as well. DUO is directly linked, via underground walkway, to Bugis MRT Station on the East West and Downtown Lines. City Hall is one stop away, meaning commuting to work in the CBD or weekend shopping trips to Orchard are quick and easy. Changi airport is a 15 minute drive via the ECP.DUO - Amenities & AttractionsDining near DUO:Kampong Glam Bars and RestaurantsMultitude of optionsShopping near DUO:Arab StreetBugis JunctionBugis+Golden Mile Shopping ComplexSim Lim SquareSchools and Education near DUO:Stamford Primary SchoolSt Margaret’s Primary SchoolBroadrick Secondary SchoolNorthlight Secondary SchoolTanjong Katong Girls SchoolDUO - Project informationDUO is a massive development encompassing residential, commercial and office space.
