30 Raffles Place

30 Raffles Place is a modern office tower in Singapore's financial district standing at 151 meters tall with 33 floors. The building features a distinctive glass rotunda at its center and a four-story entrance portico, offering approximately 270,000 square feet of office workspace.

The tower was completed in 1993 by architects Murphy/Jahn, Inc. and Architects 61 during a time of rapid economic growth in Singapore. Its construction marked the city's continued expansion as a center for international business and finance.

The building shows Singapore's change from a trading port to a global financial hub through its late-modern design. The way it looks and stands among other offices tells the story of the city becoming a major business center.

The building connects directly to Raffles Place MRT station via underground passages, making it easy to arrive by public transport. Its central location in the financial district means nearby areas are walkable and filled with other offices, shops, and services.

The roof features a distinctive design with radial sunshading louvres that span across the glass rotunda, a detail many visitors overlook. This structural choice both shades the interior and creates an eye-catching crown that sets it apart from surrounding office buildings.
