Tan Tye Place, Singapore (30 July 2017)


Tan Tye Place is a minor road in Clarke Quay, Singapore. It is within the Singapore River Planning Area, in Postal District 06. It connects on one end to River Valley Road, while the other connects to Clarke Quay.

Tan Tye Place is lined with warehouses as it is one of the roads leading towards the northern bank of the Singapore River. These warehouses have since been readapted into a food and beverage precinct. On the west side of Tan Tye Place is Canninghill Piers (presently under construction as of Feb 2023), replacing the previous development here, Liang Court.

Tan Tye Place was named after the landowner of the area. Tan Tye (1839-1898). Born in Fujian Province, China, Tan Tye arrived in Singapore in the 1860s¹. He had a sawmill³ at this site. In addition to the lumber business, he was also into shipping, pineapple plantation, canning and real estate.

In addition to Tan Tye Place, also named after Tan Tye, but now expunged, is Tan Tye Alley. There is also a Tan Tye Creek that no longer exists. Tan Tye Place is known in Hokkien as Ong3kae1 Snua3kha1 Thik1long1 Pni3 Thau2 (Traditional Chinese: 王家山腳鐵廊邊頭, POJ: ông-ke soaⁿ-kha thih-lóng piⁿ thâu)

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.
