Guoco Tower is a mixed-use development skyscraper in Tanjong Pagar of the Downtown Core district of Singapore.[2] With a height of 290 m (950 ft), it is currently the tallest building in Singapore, breaking the record held jointly by UOB Plaza, One Raffles Place and Republic Plaza for more than 20 years.[3]

Background

Formerly known as the Tanjong Pagar Centre, the 65-storey, 1.7 million sq ft skyscraper was developed by GuocoLand and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.[citation needed] It is the headquarters of Guocoland Limited and is the only skyscraper exempted from the height restriction of 280m.[4] Guoco Tower houses the rooftop Urban Park, the Wallich Residence apartment complex, and a hotel by Sofitel Hotels & Resorts.[3]

The development won the 2014 World Architecture News Mixed-Use Award in the Future Projects category,[5] and was shortlisted for the 2015 World Architecture Festival Commercial Mixed-Use Award in the Future Projects category.[6]

Notable residents

In July 2019, British industrialist and designer James Dyson purchased a 21,108 square foot (1,961.0 m2) triplex penthouse apartment at the top of the building for £43 million (US$52.8 million).[7][8] He later sold the flat in October 2020 for £36 million to Chinese American businessman Leo Koguan.[9]
