Suntec City is a major multi-use development located in Marina Centre, a subzone of the Downtown Core Planning Area in Singapore.
Suntec City was designed by Tsao & McKown Architects with emphasis on Chinese geomancy (feng shui). The five buildings and the convention center are arranged so that they look like a left hand when viewed aerially. The Fountain of Wealth appears like a golden ring in the palm of the hand. As the fountain is made of bronze, it is believed that the balance of metal and water paves the way for success. Further, the specially selected Chinese name, 新达, means "new achievement".
Suntec City office towers compromises of five buildings across Towers One to Five with. Four 45-storey and one 18-storey tower make up the 5 office towers at Suntec City. The latter has 28,000 square feet of net lettable floor area on each floor while the 45-storey towers consists of floor plates ranging from 10,000 to 14,000 square feet. In total, there are about 2.3 million square feet of office space.
