One Raffles Place, Modern skyscraper in Raffles Place, Singapore

One Raffles Place consists of two towers with different heights, where Tower One reaches 280 meters and includes 63 floors above ground level.

The building opened in 1986 as the Overseas Union Bank Centre, with construction costs reaching 486 million Singapore dollars and achieving 90% occupancy.

Kenzo Tange designed this building to reflect Singapore's emergence as a financial center through its modern glass facade and structural engineering.

The complex connects directly to Raffles Place MRT station through underground passages and contains retail spaces across six podium levels.

The building required specialized excavation techniques due to large boulders, and soil disposal operations occurred exclusively during nighttime hours.
