Pearl Bank Apartments will make way for the brand new One Pearl Bank by CapitaLand

The developer who bought over one of Singapore’s most iconic apartment buildings has unveiled new artist impressions of the creation which will replace the 43-year-old Pearl Bank Apartments.
On Tuesday (Might 14), CapitaLand released pictures of what its One Pearl Bank is slated to look like when it's completed in 2023.
Designed by multi award-winning architecture firm Serie+Multiply, the new 178-metre development assumes a curved condition that’s somewhat reminiscent of the initial cylindrical Pearl Bank Flats.
In a statement, CapitaLand explained One Pearl Bank will house 774 apartment units - of varied sizes ranging from 430 sq ft to 2,800 sq ft - in two 39-storey towers.
This is almost three times a lot more than the old Pearl Bank Apartments, which housed 280 units in 38 storeys.
The structures will be linked at the roof by sky bridges overlooking the Outram-Chinatown district of Singapore.

One Pearl Bank will also have the world’s initial sky allotment gardens found in a residential development.
Allotment gardens, which date back to 19th century England, are compact parcels of area rented to individuals, usually for the intended purpose of growing food crops.
One Pearl Bank Condo said the flat complex will have near to 200 allotment plots across 18 sky gardens, where residents can grow herbs, vegetables and fruit for their own intake. These allotments will be located every four floors to permit for adequate sunshine for plant development, the developer added.
Based on the developer, the towers are designed to take full good thing about Pearl’s Hill’s sloped typography, and both towers can be “lifted 21 metres out of the ground to permit a visible continuity flowing coming from the greenery of Pearl’s Hill City Park to the upcoming green connector to Fort Canning Park”.
“Over 500 trees across 35 species and more than 135,000 shrubs, flowers and plants will be planted throughout One Pearl Bank , occupying over 60,000 square toes of space - equivalent to 75 % of the total web page area,” it added.
