Somerset Serviced Residence is a 20-storey, 192-unit serviced apartment tower forming one of four towers within the CanningHill Piers integrated development at Clarke Quay, built on the former site of Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay, Liang Court shopping mall, and Somerset Liang Court. Upon completion, the tower’s 192 units will be held by Ascott Residence Trust and operated under the Somerset brand by The Ascott Limited, continuing the site’s earlier Somerset Liang Court heritage under a purpose-built structure.

Within CanningHill Piers, the serviced residence tower sits alongside two 48-storey residential towers and the 21-storey Moxy Singapore Clarke Quay hotel, all rising above a shared two-storey commercial podium, CanningHill Square, with direct access to Fort Canning MRT station. As a long-stay serviced apartment format, the tower’s unit layouts and back-of-house servicing differ from both the strata residential towers and the hotel’s guestroom-format rooms, despite sharing the same integrated site.

Positioning a 192-unit serviced apartment tower within a four-tower integrated development, alongside residential towers, a hotel, and a shared retail podium, required the serviced apartment floor plates, MEP risers, and back-of-house logistics to be coordinated against the differing structural grids and servicing demands of the neighbouring towers, while aligning with the shared podium’s retail, F&B, and MRT-linked circulation below.
