Guoco Midtown II Elevates Bugis District with Curated Culinary and Lifestyle Experiences

The heart of the Beach Road-Bugis precinct is beating louder with the launch of Guoco Midtown II, the final piece of GuocoLand’s ambitious integrated development. Strategically located above the Bugis MRT interchange, this new retail and lifestyle podium—crowned by the luxurious Midtown Modern condominium—ushers in a fresh era of dining, connectivity, and community in the city centre.

A Walkable, Welcoming Lifestyle Hub

Designed to complement the vibrant energy of Bugis, Guoco Midtown II is built around a street-level, open-concept layout featuring alfresco dining, wide walkways, and a pedestrian-friendly environment that encourages exploration and interaction. As the final phase of the award-winning Guoco Midtown development, it completes a transformative vision: a district where living, working, dining, and wellness converge seamlessly.

13 Culinary Concepts, 4 Singapore Debuts

At the heart of Guoco Midtown II is a curated mix of 13 dining brands, thoughtfully selected to appeal to office-goers, tourists, families, and food lovers alike. Four of these are new to Singapore, including:

  • The Plump Frenchman (#01-20): Zouk Group’s debut restaurant led by former L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon chef Lorenz Hoja, serving indulgent French brasserie fare.
  • Lee & Bai (#01-01): A Chengdu-born bun and noodle shop known for its bold handmade buns and braised pork signatures.
  • Pang Pang (#01-13 to 16): Zhejiang’s famed crab pot specialist, bringing spicy one-pot casseroles to local palates.
  • Kong Madam (#01-02): A fresh take on Korean cuisine spotlighting tofu-based dishes and grilled meats.

And just steps away, the Public Art Wall underpass connecting Beach Road to Tan Quee Lan Street showcases contemporary art installations. It currently features works by four emerging Singaporean artists as part of Undescribed #10, curated by DECK.
