Formerly known as Tanjong Pagar Centre, it is a mixed development that was completed in 2016 at a cost of S$3.2 billion. Standing at a height of 290 meters (950 feet) Guoco Tower is presently the tallest building in Singapore, surpassing the heights of UOB Plaza, One Raffles Place and Republic Plaza, which have jointly held the title of tallest buildings in Singapore for 20 years.
In addition to Guoco Tower, the development also includes Sofitel Hotel, Wallich Residence and Tanjong Pagar Park.
Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Guoco Tower was developed by GuocoLand Limited, which owns the building. It is located right above the Tanjong Pagar MRT Station, and according to its developer, is intended to be a vertical city that houses a mix of commercial, residential, retail properties, along with a hotel and an urban park.
The main component of Guoco Tower is the 64-storey Guoco Tower, which offers 890,000 square feet of lettable Grade A office space up to level 38. Housed within the tower, from levels 39 to 64, is Wallich Residence. Also within the complex is Sofitel Singapore City Centre, a luxury hotel managed by AccorHotels.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
