NS Square is a future outdoor multi-purpose venue in the Downtown Core area of Marina Bay, Singapore, designed by local architectural firm WOHA.[1] NS Square will occupy the current site of The Float@Marina Bay. It was first conceptualised in January 2020 to be a permanent replacement of the existing temporary floating platform.[2][3][4] Construction of NS Square is planned to start in March 2023, with completion expected in end-2026.[5] Along with a 30,000-seat grandstand, NS Square will house a National Service-themed gallery, community sports facilities and a public waterfront promenade.[2]
