Shaw Tower, Singapore

Shaw Tower, Singapore (28 July 2017)


Shaw Tower (GPS: 1.29668, 103.85683) is an office building in downtown Singapore. The original Shaw Tower was completed in 1975, and was located on Hoi How Road, which is today expunged. The office block at Shaw Tower, built in the Brutalist architectural style, stands 134 meters (440 feet) and has 35 floors. There was a multi-storey car park occupying levels 3 to 11.

Within the Show Tower complex are two cinemas, Prince facing Beach Road and Jade in the direction of Nicoll Highway. At the time of their opening in 1975, Prince had the largest cinema hall in Singapore. Between 1996 and 2001, the two cinemas were bought by United Artists, but returned to Shaw Theatres n 2001, when Shaw bought back United Artists' operations in Singapore.

Shaw Tower closed for redevelopment in 2018, and all the tenants were given notice to move out. However, the redevelopment was delayed by Covid-19. A new 35-storey Shaw Tower will be built in the place of the former one. It will offer 400,000 sqft of Grade A office space and 30,000 sqft of retail space.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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