50-storey Public Housing

Our office is close to a new development - the Pinnacle at Duxton, the tallest public housing project in Singapore. 50 storeys! Certainly takes things to a different level (80% of Singaporeans live in public housing, the latter of which is very different from public housing as we have come to regard it elsewhere).

It feels almost like a condominium project.

The weather was a tad cloudy, but here is a photo taken on my phone. The low-rise orange-roofed buildings are our traditional shophouses, now largely occupied by creative sorts, technology companies and asset management firms. The Singapore CBD is to the right, where the skyscrapers are.
