• As Singapore is land-scarce country, most of our buildings are high-rises. In fact, there are over 8,600 high-rises, and 80 skyscrapers in the CBD area alone.

• The majority of the tallest buildings in Singapore share the same maximum height of 280m.

• The reason is because they are built in an area (around Raffles Place and Marina

Centre) that intersects with a flight path to Paya Lebar Airbase. The height limit is put in place so that aircraft don’t collide into them.
