CapitaSpring seeks to redefine and elevate workplace and living standards for its users as it adds an elegant new 280-metre-tall integrated development landmark to the Singapore skyline. With its multi-layered green spaces of more than 90,000 sq ft to cater to wide diversity of uses and creative lifestyle possibilities, CapitaSpring posits itself to not only be an attractive place for work, but also a vibrant place to live and play in.

CapitaSpring’s abundant greenery helps to mitigate the urban heat island effect, while also enhancing workplace wellness for building occupants. Nestled between CapitaSpring’s 29- storeys of premium Grade A office space and 8-storeys of Citadines Raffles Place Singapore, lies the Green Oasis at 100 metres above ground. The Green Oasis is an expansive spiraling botanical promenade that spans a total height of 35 metres from levels 17 to 20 and is home to over 38,000 plants adorning CapitaSpring’s work-live-play amenities such as an amphitheatre, a yoga alcove, jungle gyms, ideation nests, work pods and a café.

Urban Farm at Level 51

Complementing the contemplative greenery in CapitaSpring is a rooftop urban farm at level 51. This urban farm was conceptualized and operated by 1-Group for their farm-to-table concept to help reduce the restaurant’s carbon footprint in sourcing herbs and vegetables. The urban farm seeks to evoke public’s sense of exploration and curiosity in plants with its five thematic gardens, namely the Singapore Food Heritage Garden, The Wellness Garden, The Mediterranean Potager Garden, The Australian Native Garden and The Japanese Potager Garden.

The urban farm adopts a food forest planting approach, where edible plants are grown in different layers to maximise the use of space. With over 3,300 plants across 130 varieties, the layered planting also helps create cooler microclimates and supports biodiversity by attracting birds and beneficial insects. Produce from the farm is harvested for use by 1-Group’s chefs and mixologists, strengthening the connection between urban farming and the dining experience.
