Tanjong Pagar Centre, also known as Guoco Tower,[1] is a S$3.2 billion mixed-use development located in Tanjong Pagar, 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]

Completed in 2016, the 64-storey, 1.7 million sq ft skyscraper was developed by GuocoLand and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. It is the current headquarters of Guocoland Limited and is the only skyscraper exempted from a local law forbidding buildings from exceeding a height of 280 m.[4] Tanjong Pagar Centre houses the rooftop Tanjong Pagar 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]
