Republic Plaza — a 66-storey Kurokawa-designed trophy tower in the heart of Raffles Place
Republic Plaza is a 66-storey, 280 m Grade A trophy office tower at 9 Raffles Place, in the heart of Singapore’s Raffles Place CBD. Completed in 1996 and owned by City Developments Limited (CDL), it was designed by the late Japanese Metabolist master Kisho Kurokawa (with RSP as local architect) — a tapering, chamfered granite-and-glass shaft rising to a distinctive twin-cylinder crown that makes it one of the three tallest buildings in Singapore, all built to the 280 m aviation height cap. It offers large, column-free floor plates of roughly 9,500–15,000 sq ft directly linked underground to Raffles Place MRT, and holds BCA Green Mark Platinum (Super Low Energy) following a comprehensive retrofit.
Location & connectivity
Republic Plaza sits at the core of Raffles Place:
- Raffles Place MRT (EW14 / NS26) — East-West and North-South lines, with the basement directly linked underground to the station (~2-minute walk via Exit D).
- Minutes from Marina Bay, Boat Quay and the Singapore River, surrounded by banking headquarters, F&B and hotels.
