What you should know about 313@somerset.
313@somerset is best known for opening in December 2009 as one of the first major integrated retail developments undertaken by Lendlease in Asia, transforming a prominent Orchard Road site into a contemporary eight-level shopping destination directly connected to Somerset MRT Station while introducing a fresh mid-market retail concept that reshaped the southern end of Singapore's premier shopping boulevard. Completed as Lendlease's first greenfield development in Asia, the project encompasses 27,300 square meters of retail space housing more than 170 shops and restaurants anchored by major international fashion brands and destination dining concepts. Built above one of Singapore's busiest MRT stations, the development required exceptionally complex engineering because the operational North-South MRT Line remained active throughout construction while the Stamford Canal passed directly beneath portions of the site, demanding meticulous coordination of infrastructure, transportation, and structural works. The project also introduced Discovery Walk, an open-air pedestrian precinct linking neighboring Orchard Road developments while encouraging outdoor dining, public gatherings, and stronger connectivity along Singapore's most celebrated retail corridor. Together, innovative engineering, transit-oriented planning, destination-scale retail, and thoughtful public space establish 313@somerset as one of Orchard Road's defining contemporary commercial destinations.
Beyond its retail mix, 313@somerset demonstrates how carefully planned pedestrian circulation and direct transit integration can create an active urban destination that remains energetic throughout the day. Wide internal atriums, efficient vertical circulation, Discovery Walk's lively streetscape, and continual reinvestment in fashion, dining, and lifestyle experiences reinforce the development's position as one of Singapore's most influential contemporary shopping centers while strengthening Orchard Road's reputation as one of the world's premier retail boulevards.
