One Marina Boulevard, sometimes called NTUC Centre, is a 32-storey, 110 m (360 ft) skyscraper at 1 Marina Boulevard, in the zone of Raffles Place and Marina Bay, in the central business district of Singapore. The building is near other skyscrapers, such as One Raffles Quay, The Sail @ Marina Bay and Ocean Building, all of which are around 100 metres away. It has a direct link to Raffles Place MRT Station via an air-conditioned underground mall.
The building is a Grade A office building, and its basement contains retail space. It sits on a land parcel of approximately 11,366.9 square metres. The gross floor area is 48,302 square metres. There is a total of 39,000 square metres of office space.
The site on which the development sits was the first opened up for development in the new downtown, Marina Bay, after the Singapore Labour Foundation Management Services was allocated the site by the government. The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) occupies floors 11 to 14 in the building.
In 2005, One Marina Boulevard received a Certificate of Merit in the Best Buildable Design Awards, under the Commercial and Office Buildings Category.
One Marina Boulevard was designed by DP Architects, and completed in 2004. Other firms involved in the development include Singapore Labour Foundation Management Services, Samsung Corporation, Beca Carter Hollings and Ferner, Hyder Consulting, Arup Singapore, Davis Langdon & Seah Singapore, Sika Services AG, Building Systems, and National Trades Union Congress. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on 28 February 2002, which formally kicked-off the construction of the building.
Before One Marina Boulevard was built, the site on which it sat was put on sale. It was launched on 21 November 2000 and closed on 13 March 2001. Three days later, the successful tenderers, Boulevard Development Pte Ltd, Comina Investment Limited and Freyland Pte Ltd, was announced. A new company, One Marina Boulevard Pte Ltd, was incorporated to develop the land parcel.
Currently, the land parcel is on a 99-year lease. The tendered price of the land parcel was at S$461,816,800, or about S$3,125.24 per square metre.
