About Concourse Skyline
Concourse Skyline is a 360-unit condominium at 296, 298 and 302 Beach Road in District 7 (Middle Road, Golden Mile). It was developed by Hong Fok and completed around 2014. The development has two residential towers, reported at 40 and 28 storeys, and a low-rise block with a small number of shops at ground level. The land is held on a 99-year lease from March 2008, and the site covers roughly 2 hectares shared with The Concourse office tower.
The condominium stands next to The Concourse at 300 Beach Road, the octagonal office tower designed by American architect Paul Rudolph with Architects 61 and completed in 1994. Flats range from one-bedroom units of about 775 sq ft to very large penthouses. One-bedroom units form the biggest group, at 148 of the 360 homes.
Interesting facts
The towers replaced part of the original Concourse complex. The Paul Rudolph Institute records that the podium was partly demolished in April 2009 to make way for the new residential towers.
Hong Fok obtained the wider site at a government sale of sites in 1979. Work on The Concourse began in 1981, stalled during the mid-1980s recession and finished in 1994.
Before redevelopment, the land along this stretch of Beach Road facing Kallang Basin was occupied by squatters and small marine workshops.
The facilities list includes a 50-metre lap pool, a sky garden and a covered link towards Nicoll Highway MRT station.

Nicoll Highway MRT (Circle Line) is about a 3-minute walk by the covered link. Bugis MRT (East-West and Downtown Lines) and Lavender MRT (East-West Line) are each roughly 10 minutes away.
