The Pinnacle @ Duxton is a complex of seven 50 storeys each in 156 meter high residential high-rises in the Tanjong Pagar district of Singapore , which are connected to each other by an external gallery at the 26th and 50th floors. The chain of houses describes a curve that can be interpreted as a question mark.
The gallery on the 26th floor is reserved for residents and accessible around the clock, the upper one on the 50th floor is only open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., but also to the public. The number of simultaneous visitors is limited to 1000. The gallery on the 26th floor is also used for evacuation in an emergency - so you can leave your own via neighboring high-rise buildings.
The facades on the long sides are structured vertically. 5 different outer walls of the apartments are used, with a different order for each horizontal and vertical repetition. This avoids the monotony of other high-rise buildings.
The buildings were constructed from 2005 to 2009 as part of public (social) housing by the state Housing and Development Board .
The first tranche of 528 apartments was offered for sale on May 29, 2004.
