Suntec City is a major multi-use development located in Marina Centre, a subzone of the Downtown Core in Singapore. Suntec City has a tourist hub which is the Duck & Hippo area, the bus stop which was being built in April 2004 for bus connections to Tampines, Orchard Road, Chinatown and Little India area, but on the 15 May 2012, the bus stop was relocated to the western end near to Nicoll Highway, with service 670 being diverted. On 12 June 2013, the bus stop was reopened to the public which is next to Esplanade MRT Station. Suntec City was fully opened on 6 July 2015, when Timothy Mok had went to Suntec City to watch the movie - Terminator: Genisys.

Suntec City was designed by Tsao & McKown Architects with emphasis on Chinese geomancy (feng shui). The five buildings and the convention center are arranged so that they look like a left hand when viewed aerially. The Fountain of Wealth appears like a golden ring in the palm of the hand. As the fountain is made of bronze, it is believed that the balance of metal and water paves the way for success. Further, the specially selected Chinese name, 新达, means "new achievement".
