Bank of China Building (Singapore)

The Bank of China Building is a development consisting of two skyscrapers located in the central business district of Singapore.

The building has 16 floors and a height of 200 feet (61 m), and according to the Singapore Standard, was designed to look similar to the Bank of China's premises in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

[5] The Straits Times reported in November 1946 that the branch had submitted plans for the building to the Singapore Municipal Architect.

[7] Nevertheless, Gian Singh decided to stay in their current premises past the deadline, until they were able to move all their inventory to their new location,[8] which was only completed in March 1947.

[14] Upon the completion of the building's foundation, the branch sought approval for the construction of the superstructure from Bank of China headquarters in Peking, which they obtained in May 1950.

[18] Portions of the old building that were to be torn down to make way for the tower had been closed off by August 1992, and the bank started pre-qualification of contractors for the redevelopment in the same month.
