Description
Architect: Stubbins Associates - tsa-arch.com

- When built was the Tallest cylindrical building in the world.

Built in 1986 as Treasury Building, it has 52 stories and is one of the prominent buildings in the business district. The tower houses 16 double deck elevators supplied by Otis. Singapore's present Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, once had his office in the building.

Renamed to Temasek Tower when the Ministry of Finance relocated to The Treasury on High Street. Advertising agency BBDO Worldwide hosts its Asia Pacific Headquarters in there.

In April 2007, CapitaLand sold Temasek Tower to MGP Raffle Pte Ltd. Temasek Tower is now known as the AXA Tower. The building also houses the Embassy of Belgium on the 14th floor.

On 6 May 2020, Alibaba Group has agreed to buy a 50 per cent stake in AXA Tower that values the property at S$1.68 billion.

AXA Tower was subsequently closed to the public from May 2022 for demolition.
