Gardens by the Bay launches commercial spaces in
Bay South - 18 unique spaces amidst a lush green,
garden setting

Gardens by the Bay today revealed 18 of its commercial spaces available for food and beverage (F&B) operations in the Bay South garden.

Spread out across the 54-hectare garden, the unique dining spaces are located among the main features in Bay South - the largest of the three gardens at Gardens by the Bay - and will offer a vast variety of dining options for all Singaporeans when it opens in 2011.

Situated in the heart of Singapore's new downtown Marina Bay area, Gardens by the Bay boasts three upcoming waterfront gardens that will not only be populated with diverse flora, but will also feature new and exciting dining concepts. Bay South alone features 23 commercial spaces, of which 18 are F&B spaces while the remaining 5 will be dedicated to retail.

The range of dining facilities will be planted among key features in the garden such as the Conservatory Complex with two specially constructed biomes that will house plants and flowers from the Mediterranean and Tropical Montane environments; the Supertree Grove, where 12 uniquely designed Supertrees which are vertical gardens standing between 25 and 50 metres in height will be populated with plants not commonly found in Singapore; and even atop the tallest Supertree, which offers a panoramic view of Singapore's new skyline.

Visitors can choose from a vast selection of dining options including a restaurant in a Mediterranean garden setting, the panoramic 50-metre Supertree Bar, Supertree Grove casual dining right at the centre of the Gardens, and a Satay Club by the waterfront.

Consonant with Singapore's aim to be entrenched as Asia's premier leisure destination, the development of the Gardens by the Bay at its pre-eminent location along the waterfront of Singapore's new downtown provides a new and exciting green space venue for recreation. "The Gardens by the Bay has always been envisioned to epitomize the tropical Garden City that is Singapore, an icon dedicated to all Singaporeans as their very own place to enjoy with their families and friends," said Dr Kiat W. Tan, CEO, Gardens by the Bay.

The 18 unique F&B spaces have been specially created to line the Bay South garden with dining options that cater to every layer of the Singapore community. Whether it's a family gathering over a weekend lunch, a business meeting, or simply chilling out with friends, there is something for everyone in the Gardens. To this end, the 9,400 square metre F&B spaces give visitors the flexibility to decide on the type of environment they want to be immersed in.

"Gardens by the Bay has immense potential to become an iconic, ground-breaking business spot, given its location in the city centre, and the fact that it offers operators something truly unique that no other location provides - the opportunity to exist and operate within a lush garden setting. With this unique dining concept, we believe the Gardens will attract quality operators from here and abroad," said Peter See-Toh, Managing Director, Retail Services, Knight Frank Pte Ltd.

The 18 F&B spaces will officially open for tender from September onwards.
