For many years, following its completion in 1973, the former UIC Building—located along Shenton Way—dominated the city skyline as Singapore’s tallest tower.
Following the rejuvenation of this stretch of buildings in the heart of the central business district, the UIC Building has been redeveloped into a striking new landmark, known as V on Shenton.
The twin tower project comprises a 23-storey Grade-A office building and a 53-storey residential tower that sit upon a plinth.
The dual programming of the building is highlighted through its massing. The office tower responds to the scale of the surrounding buildings and to the street, while the residential tower rises up to distinguish itself from its neighbours.
