Design Revealed for 8 Shenton Way, Poised to Redefine Singapore’s Skyline as the City’s Tallest Building.
American architecture giant Skidmore, Owings & Merrill has revealed its design for an Alibaba-backed tower soaring 350 metres (1,148 feet) in height to become Singapore’s tallest skyscraper upon completion.
Envisioned as one of Asia’s most sustainable skyscrapers, the 63-story mixed-use downtown development takes cues from bamboo forests to create an indoor-outdoor vertical community with public spaces, offices, retail, a hotel, and luxury residences.
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) has revealed the design of 8 Shenton Way, a 63-story tower that will anchor the intersection of Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD) and Marina Bay, the historic Tanjong Pagar neighborhood, and the emerging Greater Southern Waterfront. Soon to be one of the most identifiable landmarks on the skyline, the tower will soar 305 meters—becoming Singapore’s tallest skyscraper—with a series of garden terraces that elevate the lush tropical landscape from Shenton Way, Anson Road, and Maxwell Road into the sky.
