Tanjong Pagar, Historic district in Downtown Core, Singapore

Tanjong Pagar combines traditional shophouses from the 19th century with contemporary high-rise buildings, including the tallest structure in Singapore, the Guoco Tower.

The district began as a fishing village called Salinter, transforming into a major dock area after the Tanjong Pagar Dock Company formation in 1864.

The Thian Hock Keng Temple, constructed in 1839, stands as a national monument displaying traditional Hokkien architectural elements and spiritual practices.

The neighborhood contains multiple transport connections, Korean restaurants, cocktail bars, and fitness centers, making it a central location for both residents and visitors.

The Pinnacle@Duxton features seven interconnected 156-meter residential towers with sky bridges offering views across the urban landscape.
