One Raffles Place, Singapore (28 July 2017)


One Raffles Place (GPS: 1.28449, 103.85107) is a skyscraper in downtown Singapore. It is located at Raffles Place in the Downtown Core. Formerly known as OUB Centre, One Raffles Place is the first of the three skyscrapers in Singapore to reach the height of 280 meters (919 feet), and was the tallest building in the world outside North America when it was completed in 1986, surpassing South Korea's 63 Building completed a year earlier. It was eventually surpassed by the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong. The architect was Kenzo Tange. Since then, it has been pushed down to second position behind Tanjong Pagar Centre.

One Raffles Place is across the road from UOB Plaza and Republic Plaza, the other two skyscrapers of the same height. It has 63 storeys above ground and four basement levels.

One Raffles Place is next to the Raffles Place MRT Station. The renaming of OUB Centre to One Raffles Place was officially carried out after another 38-storey tower was constructed next to OUB Centre, so the OUB Centre Mall had to be renovated to accommodate it. The new tower was designed by Kenzo Tange's son Paul. It stands at a height of 205 meters. The tower adds some 350,000 square feet of office space to the Central Business District.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
