One Marina Gardens Developer
Kingsford Marina Development Pte. Ltd., a Joint Venture led by Kingsford Development
Kingsford Marina Development Pte. Ltd. is the legal developer of record for One Marina Gardens, holding UEN 202328336N and Developer Licence C1509. The project account is held with UOB under account number 772-318-594-0. The company is a subsidiary of Kingsford Development Pte. Ltd., formed to acquire and deliver this one site. Two further parties, Polarix Cultural & Science Park Investment Pte. Ltd. and Obsidian Development Pte. Ltd., participate in the joint venture as financial partners rather than as developers, so the development work and the delivery record both sit with Kingsford.
The site is at 1, 3 and 5 Marina Gardens Lane in District 1, on Mukim Lot TS30 Lot 00713P, held on a 99-year lease running from 9 October 2023. It was the first Government Land Sale parcel released in the Marina South precinct, and the Kingsford-led consortium secured it with a bid of $1.034 billion, a land rate of $1,402 per square foot per plot ratio. For a sense of scale against a neighbouring parcel, the Marina View site was separately awarded to IOI Properties at $1,379 psf ppr. Across 12,245.10 sqm, or 131,805 sqft, at a plot ratio of 5.6, the company is building 937 residential units in two towers, Block 5 at 44 storeys and Block 3 at 30 storeys, with three shops, a restaurant and a childcare centre at street level. Expected vacant possession is 30 April 2029, with legal completion expected on 30 April 2032.
Forming a fresh company for each site is how this group operates rather than an exception made here. Normanton Park was delivered through Kingsford Huray Development Pte. Ltd., The Hill @ One-North through Kingsford Real Estate Development Pte. Ltd., and Lentor Gardens Residences through Kingsford Lentor Project Pte. Ltd. What that means practically is that the entity named on your purchase documents is specific to this development, while the delivery record worth examining belongs to the group behind it.
The consultant team appointed to the project is P&T Consultants Pte. Ltd. as architect, Ecoplan Asia Pte. Ltd. as landscape consultant, a joint venture of Qingjian Engineering & Construction Pte. Ltd. and Leadbuild Construction Pte. Ltd. as main contractor, KCL Consultants Pte. Ltd. on civil and structural engineering, United Project Consultants Pte. Ltd. on mechanical and electrical, Index Design Pte. Ltd. as project interior designer, and Lee and Lee as conveyancing solicitor. Full particulars, consultants and technical specifications are set out on our Project Info page.
Kingsford Development Pte. Ltd.
Company Profile
Kingsford Development Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore-headquartered real estate developer established in 2011. Over more than a decade it has concentrated on large-scale residential projects rather than single-block developments, and its Singapore portfolio is best read as a record of masterplanning at scale: sizeable sites taken from groundbreaking through to a fully realised estate with a facility programme to match.
Completed developments. The completed Singapore portfolio includes the 512-unit Kingsford Hillview Peak at Hillview Avenue, the 1,165-unit Kingsford Waterbay at Upper Serangoon View, and the 1,862-unit Normanton Park. Unit counts at that level are the relevant test here, because One Marina Gardens is a 937-unit development with 52 facilities across five levels, and delivering that is a different exercise from delivering a boutique block.
Independently assessed build quality. Normanton Park was assessed at CONQUAS Band 1 in 2024. CONQUAS is the Building and Construction Authority’s national benchmark for construction workmanship, applied to the finished building rather than to the marketing, and Band 1 is its top grade. It is one of the few quality signals a buyer can check against a government register rather than take on trust. One Marina Gardens is recorded as under assessment, which is the normal position for a project still in construction.
Ongoing projects. Alongside One Marina Gardens, Kingsford Development is currently building the 142-unit The Hill @ One-North, Lentor Gardens Residences, and the redevelopment of Chuan Park at Lorong Chuan, the last of these in joint venture with MCC Land (Singapore) and JLCC Development. Running four sizeable projects concurrently is a reasonable proxy for the scale of the group’s current operations in Singapore.
Continuity of consultants. P&T Consultants Pte. Ltd. is the architect on Normanton Park, The Hill @ One-North, Lentor Gardens Residences and One Marina Gardens. Using the same architect across four consecutive projects is a modest but real signal: the team drawing this development has already taken three Kingsford sites through to delivery.
Awards and recognition. Kingsford Development was conferred the Singapore Prestige Brand Award, Global Brands, in 2019. Normanton Park took two honours at the 2021 PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Singapore): Best Mega-Scale Condo Development and Best Mega-Scale Condo Landscape Architectural Design. The landscape award is the more relevant of the two for a buyer here, given that One Marina Gardens is built around a second-storey landscape deck and three separate sky levels.
For a buyer weighing a new launch, a developer’s record on completed projects is usually a better predictor of the post-handover experience than anything in a brochure. What is worth checking is not the marketing but the delivery: unit counts actually completed, estate condition after handover, and whether the facility programme promised at launch is the one that exists five years later.
