OCBC Centre, Brutalist skyscraper in Downtown Core, Singapore
The OCBC Centre reaches 197.7 meters with 52 floors, featuring two massive concrete semi-circular structural cores that support 27 elevators and service areas.
Completed in 1976 at a cost of 100 million Singapore dollars, this building stood as the tallest structure in Southeast Asia outside Japan.
The banking hall spans 1,200 square meters with a 12-meter height, incorporating stainless steel panels and a 4,000 square feet gold carpet.
Located at 65 Chulia Street, the OCBC Centre functions as the headquarters of the Overseas Chinese Banking Corporation in Singapore's financial district.
