Tuan Sing Holdings, a Singapore-listed company, opened the marketing gallery of its integrated, mixed-use development Opus Bay in Batam on May 4. Spanning 125 ha (13.46 million sq ft), this ambitious project is larger in scale than Singapore’s Sentosa Cove in Sentosa Island.

Designed to be a vibrant hub where residents can live, work, play and learn, Opus Bay has been master-planned by New York-based Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates. The development will be constructed in phases, with the first including the construction of two major residential developments: Cluny Villas and the high-rise Balmoral Tower.

Cluny Villas covers an area of 275 villas which have been designed in a luxury resort style by Singapore-based architectural practice Ong & Ong. Structural works have already been completed with the architectural phase underway, with completion expected in 4Q203.

The high-rise Balmoral Tower will feature 559 apartments with stunning seafront views and is designed by Singapore-based RT+Q. Foundation works are already in progress, with completion of this architectural marvel expected in 4Q2025. The design of the retail component at Opus Bay is the work of Hong Kong-based international design studio Lead8, while Singapore-based Park + Associates is the architect behind the design of the existing ferry terminal.

Opus Bay is Tuan Sing’s first integrated, mixed-use township project in Indonesia, located next to the Waterfront Ferry Terminal in Batam, a 40-minute ferry ride from Singapore’s Harbourfront Ferry Terminal. Through this development, they aim to transform Batam Island into an exciting destination.

This isn’t the only high profile project that Tuan Sing is involved in. The company is also a joint venture partner with Japan’s Mitsubishi Estate Co. in The Grand Outlet, a luxury outlet mall in East Jakarta. This mall, designed to be a landmark, is scheduled for completion in late 2023.

With its prime location and quality amenities, the 40-storey development promises to be a great addition to Jurong East. It will provide around 400 modern facilities with a wide variety of lifestyle options such as gyms, swimming pools, squash courts, and multi-purpose rooms. Besides, the J’Den Capitaland complex will also feature a retail component which will be home to a variety of shops, food and beverage outlets, and services designed to make life more convenient.

At the opening of the marketing gallery for Opus Bay on May 4, William Liem, CEO of Tuan Sing Holdings, was present alongside Linda Liem, Patrick Tan, Head of Asset & Fund Management of Tuan Sing Holdings, and prominent figures from the local government of Batam.

Tuan Sing’s Opus Bay is an ambitious mixed-use development that promises to transform Batam Island into an exciting destination and is part of a larger vision by the company to create landmark developments in Indonesia. With support from the local government, their goal of completing the development on schedule seems achievable.
