Located at the intersection of Beach Road and Middle Road, Shaw Tower is a high-rise mixed-commercial building first built in 1975. Once home to Singapore’s largest cinema, it is now being redeveloped as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s plan to rejuvenate the Ophir-Rochor area, enhancing the Central Business District’s modern aesthetics.
The redevelopment will offer Grade-A office space, ground-floor retail, and food and beverage options, along with lifestyle amenities, community facilities and sky terraces. Upon completion, Shaw Tower will contribute to a vibrant mixed-use cluster of commercial and cultural spaces.
The design focuses on wrapping spaces and layering forms to blend beautiful landscapes with contemporary architecture. Subtle curves and folds create public spaces that spiral up to the tower’s profile and crown.
