ENGAGING OUR STAKEHOLDERS JOINING HANDS WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO REINVIGORATE THE COMMUNITY TRANSFORMING RAFFLES PLACE: MAKING AN IMPACT THROUGH RAFFLES PLACE ALLIANCE CICT, along with nine other stakeholders, formed Raffles Place Alliance Limited in 2019 as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s pilot Business Improvement District (pilot-BID) programme. The alliance aims to actively transform and invigorate public spaces in the Raffles Place precinct, where three of CICT's properties, CapitaSpring, CapitaGreen and Six Battery Road, are located. Part of Raffles Place Alliance's pilot-BID initiative involves organising regular events and initiatives showcasing the area’s rich heritage while enhancing its vibrancy as a business precinct and must-see destination. Noteworthy activities include UNWIND @ Raffles Place, offering unique events in June, August and October that blend relaxation with social engagement. Monthly fitness and wellness events, such as the energetic Glow Stick Dance Party Workouts in Raffles Place Park, also contribute to the precinct’s liveliness. The Raffles Place Audio Tours encourage a deeper exploration of the art and history in Raffles Place. The Art Audio Tour showcases 11 iconic sculptures and installations in the precinct, while the Heritage Audio Tour invites participants to discover the rich heritage of Raffles Place by scanning QR codes at designated stops. These activities have helped Raffles Place to transcend its identity as a financial district, nurturing a deeper sense of community and turning the precinct into a vibrant hub of life, culture and shared experiences. CICT's involvement in Raffles Place Alliance's pilot-BID underscores a commitment to shaping not only the physical landscape but also the social fabric of Raffles Place, creating a richer and more engaging environment for residents, workers and visitors in the district. UNWIND @ Raffles Place featured movie screening, lawn games and children's art programming.
