Marina One owner M+S on Friday (18 September) unveiled the line-up of its anchor retail and Food & Beverage (F&B) brands tenants including Virgin Active, Cold Storage and Cookhouse by Koufu, ahead of the development’s expected issuance of its temporary occupation permit in 2017.
Kemmy Tan, Chief Operating Officer, M+S Pte Ltd said, “Anchoring Virgin Active, Cold Storage and Cookhouse as our key retail tenants reinforces Marina One’s vision to be the choice destination to live, work and play in the heart of the Marina Bay financial district. Retailers recognise the potential of Marina One as the only premium integrated development to be completed in Marina Bay in the coming years and moved quickly to secure spaces at Marina One.”
She added that the company’s retail strategy will “continue to focus on introducing new, refreshing lifestyle and retail experiences which appeal to a sophisticated and cosmopolitan audience.”
Other tenants include Japanese restaurant Teppei Syokudo, ‘third-wave’ specialist coffee house Jewel, and 4 Fingers Crispy Chicken.
According to M+S, Virgin Active will occupy a total of 26,000 sq ft—spanning two levels—at Marina One, while Cold Storage’s store there will be the largest supermarket outlet in Marina Bay.
Marina One’s retail podium called “The Heart” accounts for a total of 140,000 sq ft of net lettable space of the integrated development.
Owned 60:40 by Khazanah and Temasek respectively, M+S was set up in June 2011 to develop two integrated developments in Singapore — Marina One and DUO.
