Republic Plaza (GPS: 1.28291, 103.85102) is a skyscraper in Raffles Place, Singapore. It is within the Downtown Core. Completed in 1995 at a height of 280 meters (919 feet) it shares the title of being one of the three tallest buildings in Singapore with OUB Centre and UOB Plaza. Republic Plaza has 66 storeys above ground and 1 basement. It is developed and owned by City Developments Limited, an international property and hotel conglomerate. Although it is bordered by D'Almeida Street and Collyer Quay, it has its address on Raffles Place.
Republic Plaza occupies the city block along Cecil Street, with its main entrance at D'Almeida Street. It was designed by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa. The tower tapers as it rises, allowing it to withstand strong winds and helps improve on wind loading. To afford sea views for the upper floors, its face is turned 45 degrees as it reaches the upper floors.
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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
