People's Park Complex, Singapore (29 July 2017)


People's Park Complex (GPS: 1.28446, 103.8427) is a shopping centre with a residential high-rise block in the Chinatown neighbourhood of Outram, Singapore. The complex occupies a plot at the foot of Pearl's Hill. Before its construction, the area was an open park. Later on, a market was established there, called People's Market or Pearl's Market. However, it was destroyed by a fire in 1966.

People's Park Complex was constructed between 1967 and 1970. When it was completed, it was the first shopping centre of its kind in Singapore, and it set the stage for future retail development in the country. Even today, it is still the biggest shopping centre along Eu Tong Sen Street.

The design of People's Park Complex reflects the ideals set forth by imminent architect Le Corbusier for high rise living. It was designed by local architecture firm Design Partnership (now called DP Architects). People's Park Complex comprises a six storey podium and above it, a 25-storey apartment block, giving a total of 31 storeys to the buiding.

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.
