Raffles Place, Financial district in Downtown Core, Singapore
The area contains numerous banking institutions and corporate headquarters housed within modern glass-and-steel skyscrapers along Singapore's southern waterfront.
The site began as Commercial Square in the 1820s and transformed from a simple market area into Singapore's primary financial center by the 1960s.
The district reflects Singapore's economic development through its architecture, mixing traditional colonial structures with contemporary high-rise buildings reaching toward the sky.
The Raffles Place MRT station serves as a central transportation hub, connecting the district to multiple train lines and bus routes throughout Singapore.
The district houses One Raffles Place, Republic Plaza, and UOB Plaza, three 280-meter skyscrapers that form key elements of Singapore's skyline.
