Protection EFFORTS ,
When tenants and members of the public attend The Golden Mile come 2029, they may see many” character-defining parts” that were retained from Golden Mile Complex, said Mr Seah Chee Huang, chief executive of DP Architects , – the company working on the project.
The traditional property’s stepped deck report, floor, lattice panels and mosaics are among its features that have been earmarked for protection. Its atrium’s geographical features will also be preserved to maintain its sense of place.
” Conservation projects come with unique problems and considerations. Our goal is to future-proof the building while respecting its heritage” , , Ms Tan of Perennial Holdings said.
” We are constantly looking into and putting together actions to realize its full potential in accordance with contemporary standards.”
Completed in 1973, Golden Mile Complex was one of the first mixed-use improvements in Singapore, and the first large-scale strata-titled tower to get conserved in the country.  ,
Golden Mile Complex was sold for S$ 700 million ( about US$ 522 million currently ) to a consortium comprising Perennial Holdings, Sino Land and Far East Organization in 2022.  ,
Until May last season, it was home to shops, offices and residential models. One of its unique engineers, Mr. William Lim, once occupied one of the tower apartments.
The Golden Mile will also have very efficient chiller plants, smart temperature sensing, and an air-distribution system with extremely efficient energy-saving features.  ,
Additionally, it will have a smart energy management system and make use of solar photovoltaic panel’ solar power.  ,
” We’ll make sure the building is secure enough for the user without sacrificing on sustainability”, Ms Tan said
