SINGAPORE - It was once Singapore's tallest residential building and remains a landmark four decades down the road, but the horseshoe-shaped Pearl Bank Apartments could well fall victim to a demolition crew.
The building - sold to developer CapitaLand in a collective sale on Feb 13 - will likely not be conserved despite the wishes of heritage lovers and the Singapore architect who designed it.
Pearl Bank Management Corporation Strata Title (MCST) chairman Cecilia Seet and Ms Tang Wei Leng, managing director at marketing agent Colliers International, told The Straits Times that there are no plans to conserve Pearl Bank.
