Pinnacle@Duxton

Pinnacle@Duxton, Singapore Overview

The Pinnacle@Duxton is an iconic 50-storey residential housing project in Singapore considered modern architecture at its finest. Located at city centre, is the site of the world's longest continuous sky gardens, found on the two unique skybridges of this residential complex at the 26th storey and the 50th storey. These skybridges offer breathtaking panoramic views of the splendid skyline of Singapore.

With 1,848 apartments spread across 7 blocks, the Pinnacle@Duxton goes down in history as Singapore's first 50-storey public housing project and the tallest public residential building. The outer facade of Pinnacle@Duxton reflects elements of modern architecture, with an arrangement of bay windows, planter boxes and balconies set to resemble a circuit board.
