A Brief Background About Singapore Science Park and Lyndenwoods

CapitaLand Development (CLD) is undertaking a multi-phase rejuvenation of the Singapore Science Park (SSP) to transform it into a holistic work-live-play innovation district.

The Singapore Science Park (SSP) has established itself as one of Asia’s most prestigious addresses for R&D and technology. It is home to over 350 multinational corporations, homegrown companies, start-ups and laboratories. These include Avaya, Refinitiv, DNV, Defence Science Organisation National Laboratories, Shimadzu, AT&T, Institute of Microelectronics, Crimson Logic, and Grab.

During the first phase, which started in the 2010s, CLD redeveloped eight older buildings into higher-density ones like Ascent, which included F&B options.

The current second phase focuses on Geneo, a life sciences and innovation cluster. Geneo features workspaces, lifestyle amenities, F&B outlets, a community plaza and two central gardens.

Nearby, Citadines Science Park Singapore, a 250-room hotel residence, began operations in February 2024.

The next phase of SSP’s development includes Lyndenwoods, a 300-unit condominium at 71 Science Park Drive, marking the first residential project in SSP.

Lyndenwoods will be built on the former Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) site where it operated from 2000 to 2018. This is after receiving approval from URA for the change of use.

It will be connected to Geneo, which will have an underground link to the Kent Ridge MRT station.

Being near the National University of Singapore, National University Hospital, One-North, Kent Ridge Park, and other recreational facilities, it will foster a live, work, play, and study environment.
