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

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.
