Located along Beach Road, South Beach Development comprises the Former Beach Road Camp, the NCO Club Building and the Former Beach Road Police Station building. The site is synonymous with the history of the Singapore Volunteers Corps (SVC) and was where the first NS enlistment was held in 1967. It is a cluster of three Art Deco Style blocks built in the 1930s and a NCO Club building built in 1953-53 which is a hybrid of Art Deco and the Modern Style.

For the better part of 20th century, the site (previously known as Beach Road Camp) had been used as the headquarters of Singapore’s volunteer defence forces. In February 2000, Beach Road Camp closed its doors and was given conservation status on 9 October 2002.

Scheduled to reopen by 2012, the area is envisaged to become the ‘revolutionary New Eco-Quarter in Singapore’. It will feature two striking towers of up to 45 storeys, including the four revitalised historic buildings and will house premium office space, two luxury hotels, exquisite retail space and exclusive city residences. City Developments Limited and its partners Istithmar (part of the Dubai World Group) and US-based Elad Group are currently working on this project known as South Beach.
