OUE Tower & Link, Singapore

OUE Tower, Singapore (11 September, 2010)


OUE Tower (GPS: 1.28372, 103.85286) is a revolving tower in downtown Singapore. Located at Collyer Quay, it is connected to an overhead bridge that was formerly known as Change Alley Aerial Plaza. Both the tower and bridge were renamed OUE Tower and OUE Link respectively following their renovation in 2011.

Although the area has been called Change Alley since the late 19th century, the shopping arcade bearing that name was only constructed in 1970, after the Urban Redevelopment Authority sold the site for development. The result is one of the most iconic buildings to grace the city waterfront of the 1970's.

Change Alley got its name from the money changers to used to work in the area, in those days when visitors came to shore from ocean liners. It also derived the name from the Exchange Alley of the City of London, where stockbrokers congregate. Originally, the alley in that area was known as Spottiswoode Lane.

The development of OUE Tower created a shopping arcade with small outlets. It was a popular shopping destination in the 1970's, but over the decades have lost its lustre, resulting in low traffic through the area. The revolving restaurant, once towering over the area, is today dwarfed by the soaring skyscrapers of Raffles Place.

About this website

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
