Designed by architect Ole Scheeren and scheduled for completion in 2017.
DUO will be directly connected to the Bugis MRT station served by the East West Line and Downtown Line via underground pedestrian linkways, providing easy access to the Central Area, Marina Bay and major shopping, dining and entertainment areas at Orchard Road and the Singapore River.

The Ophir-Rochor Corridor is identified as a ‘Growth Area’ that will feature a dynamic mixed-use cluster to complement the commercial facilities at Marina Bay and Raffles Place.
