The unique conserved landmark that is Clarke Quay has been undergoing a major refurbishment since the third quarter of 2022. Since then, the area has been rather quiet, especially during the day – blame the hoardings, closed businesses and Covid.
But we can officially report that things are about to get exciting.
The official relaunch of CQ @ Clarke Quay is set to be in the second quarter this year, transforming it into a day-and-night lifestyle destination that blends the precinct’s rich heritage with a vibrant mix of lifestyle, entertainment, and F&B brands.
Look forward to new and refreshed concepts across three key zones – The Riverfront (Blocks A and D), The Warehouses (Block B), and The Circuit (Blocks C and E).
But first, lunch
As CQ @ Clarke Quay heads towards the final leg of its reimagination to become a centre of daytime enjoyment as well, it is offering visitors tantalising lunch deals at an expanded range of eateries and restaurants. Enjoy 1-for-1 lunch meals at selected restaurants, while group diners can delight in the “1 Dine for Free with every 3 Lunch Sets” promotion. Plus, drivers can save more with two hours of free parking every day between 8am to 6pm.
