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. There is also a special 52nd storey viewing gallery reserved for the VIPs and State visitors during special events. The marvellous design and concept were born out of the first international design competition for public housing. The fame of the Pinnacle@Duxton has helped it feature on multiple documentaries, most notably the "How we invented the World: Skyscrapers" by Discovery Channel.

Each sky bridge in the building is home to a 500-meter long sky garden, and this is precisely why you absolutely need to visit this place. The sky gardens offer visitors with some seriously spectacular 360-degree views and give the sense of literally being on top of the world.
