One Pearl Bank | Iconic Development in District 3
Introduction of Chinatown
Chinatown, once an enclave for Singapore’s Chinese immigrant population, is now the top attraction for tourists. Not only that, Chinatown is also a home to many Chinese people.
Though connected to the Central Business District area of Singapore, there is still some hint of traditional handicraft workshops such as wood engraving services etc and many more. Whether you are a foodie exploring the traditional flavors of a country or one who loves fusion, Chinatown’s diverse local food offerings are certain to sate your appetite.
One Pearl Bank, formerly known as Pearl Bank Apartment
The famous Pearl Bank apartment in Chinatown was built in 1976 and was also the tallest residential building in this area. In 2018, the CapitaLand Group successfully acquired Pearl Bank for $728 million. Today, the horseshoe-shaped Pearl Bank apartment has been renamed as One Pearl Bank, making it the iconic landmark in Outram-Chinatown precinct.
