High-end housing project breaks ground at Capitol site

A high-end residential project will soon rise at the site of the iconic Capitol Building and Stamford House as it broke ground yesterday for a possible launch between March and April next year.

The residential project, which is expected to house 34 units, is part of a landmark mixed-use development plan that will comprise retail, hotel, residential and theatre facilities when completed. 

The Capitol Theatre will be conserved and transformed into a cinema with 800 seats. 

Its developer, Capitol Investment Holdings, said it has awarded the S$338 million contract to Japanese firm Shimizu Corp for the restoration of the site.

The entire project is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2014.
