Wallich Residence – Singapore's Tallest Residential Development at Tanjong Pagar Centre
290 metres up. That’s where your front door is.
Wallich Residence occupies floors 39 to 64 of Guoco Tower at Tanjong Pagar Centre, District 2. GuocoLand built it, completed it in 2018, and handed Singapore its tallest residential address. 181 units. Full-length windows. City below you in every direction.
What Is Wallich Residence?
The short answer: it’s the residential top of Tanjong Pagar Centre, one of Singapore’s most ambitious mixed-use buildings.
Below floor 39, you’ve got Grade-A offices, the Sofitel Singapore City Centre hotel, 100,000 sq ft of retail and F&B, and a 150,000 sq ft urban park. All of that sits underneath the homes. So when people say the base of your apartment is already higher than most Singapore rooftops — that’s not poetic language. That’s just the floor plan.
Tenure is 99-year leasehold. Completed 2018. Not freehold, and worth being straight about that upfront. But the address, the CBD location, and the consistent demand from professional tenants have kept Wallich Residence firmly in Singapore’s core central luxury market since day one.

Wallich Residence Pricing – What the Transactions Actually Show
Units are listed right now between roughly S$1.8 million and S$8.3 million. The current PSF range sits between S$2,786 and S$4,144. Floor level moves that number — same unit type, same building, but the difference between the 42nd and 60th floor shows up clearly in what buyers pay.
Actual sales numbers:
- Six-month average PSF: S$3,120. Twelve-month average: S$3,109
- Last 12 months transaction range: S$2,539 psf on the low end, S$3,638 psf on the high
- December 2022 — a 60th-floor 2-bedroom sold at S$5.25 million, S$4,169 psf
- October 2020 — the Super Penthouse at S$62 million
- The all-time PSF record: S$4,987 psf on a 3,509 sq ft unit, January 2020
Mid-S$3,000 psf has held steady for most standard units through 2022 to mid-2025. No sudden jump, no drop. Consistent movement like that in a completed luxury building tells you something real about the people living there — it’s not speculative trading, it’s actual buyers and tenants.
Wallich Residence Rental Market – The Tenant Profile Here Is Specific
Wallich Residence renters are mostly CBD professionals. Senior expats. People in banking, finance, law, regional management — working in Shenton Way or Marina Bay and wanting to walk to the office rather than sit in traffic or on a train. Tanjong Pagar is geographically as close to Singapore’s financial district as residential living gets.
That keeps the rental market active all year. Units that are well maintained don’t wait long for tenants.
Numbers from recent transactions:
- Rental listings currently: S$7,280 to S$39,999 per month
- Highest recorded rental: S$22,000/month for a 1,600 sq ft unit, August 2025
- Typical rental band for most unit types: S$9,500 to S$22,000
- Six-month average rental PSF: S$10.60
- Gross rental yield: around 4% to 4.2%
4% on a completed luxury development in Singapore’s core central region. For buyers who’ve done the comparison across the CCR, that number holds up well.
Why Wallich Residence Stands Out in Singapore’s Luxury Property Market
There’s no shortage of luxury condos for sale in Singapore. So what’s actually different here?
The height is real, not a marketing angle. Guoco Tower at 290 metres is Singapore’s tallest building. Wallich Residence starts at the 39th floor. The views here aren’t in the same category as what most Singapore condos offer, because most Singapore condos don’t go this high. That’s the honest version.
Everything under one roof — literally. Sofitel Singapore City Centre. 100,000 sq ft of shops and restaurants. Grade-A offices. Direct MRT access. Urban park. All in the same building. You can go from your bedroom to a restaurant to the MRT to a hotel gym to a grocery run without stepping outside. That level of integration is unusual even for Singapore.
The MRT station is inside the building. Tanjong Pagar EW15 doesn’t require a linkway or a five-minute walk. The lift goes down and you’re in the station. For people who commute every day, that’s not a small thing.
Residents don’t share their facilities with anyone. Four dedicated floors, hotel guests excluded, office workers excluded. The infinity pool on the 39th floor, the sky observatory on the 62nd — these are for the 181 households in this building and no one else.
More than half the buyers here have been foreign purchasers. Transaction data shows 32.1% Singaporean, 14.8% PR, 51.2% foreign buyers. That sustained international interest in Singapore’s CBD luxury residential market is reflected in Wallich Residence more clearly than almost any other development in the city.
Wallich Residence Facilities – Four Floors, All in the Sky
Ground-level pool decks work fine. But Wallich Residence doesn’t have one of those.
The Apex — Level 62. Sky observatory at approximately 270 metres above sea level. Panoramic views of the city, the waterfront, and beyond. The kind of space where people stop talking when they walk in for the first time.
Cloud 220 — Level 52. For residents who want to host without going to a restaurant. Private dining, events, quiet evenings with the city spread below. Not a shared function room that smells like other people’s parties — a proper, well-finished space.
Social 180 — Level 39. The everyday floor. Infinity pool at 180 metres. Landscaped garden. Jacuzzi, cabanas, BBQ areas, recreation spaces. Designed to be used regularly, not just pulled out for visitors.
Wallich Concierge — Ground Level. Hotel-style concierge team for residents. The only floor accessible to the public. Above it, the building belongs entirely to the people who live there.
Nearby Amenities
The 100,000 sq ft retail and F&B podium inside Tanjong Pagar Centre handles most daily needs before you even leave the building. Beyond that:
Retail and shopping: Guoco Tower retail (in-building), Icon Village, International Plaza, Marina Bay Link Mall, People’s Park Complex, China Square.
Food: Maxwell Road Hawker Centre (genuinely worth it — short walk away), Chinatown Food Centre, Duxton Hill restaurants, Amoy Street and Tras Street F&B.
Groceries: Cold Storage at Altez, Fairprice Finest, DON DON DONKI at 100AM.
Green space and recreation: 150,000 sq ft Urban Park at the base of the building, Fort Canning Park, Hong Lim Park, Singapore Cricket Club.
Wallich Residence as an Investment – The Straight Version
Rental yield sits at 4% to 4.2%. For a completed luxury development in the core central region, that’s solid. Tenants are mostly CBD professionals and senior expats on corporate housing budgets. They tend to pay on time and stay for reasonable periods. Vacancy is short for units that are looked after properly.
Transaction pricing has sat in the S$3,000 to S$3,600 psf range for standard units throughout 2022 to mid-2025. No dramatic movements either direction. In a mature luxury high-rise, that kind of steadiness is actually what you want to see — it means the market is trading on real value, not noise.
Foreign buyer interest at 51.2% of all transactions signals that international demand for Singapore’s CBD luxury residential property remains strong.
Now the honest part: Wallich Residence is 99-year leasehold. Around 91 years remain. Fine for most buyers today. But if you’re planning a resale 15 to 20 years out, lease decay starts to matter to future buyers’ bank financing eligibility. Think it through. If freehold matters to you more than the CBD address, Nouvel 18 or 21 Angullia Park are worth comparing.
Foreign buyers: ABSD at 60% applies to foreign purchasers of Singapore private residential property. That’s a significant number on top of the purchase price.

GuocoLand – The Developer Behind Wallich Residence
GuocoLand is Singapore Exchange-listed and operates across Singapore, Malaysia, China, and the UK. They’re not a volume builder. Their track record in Singapore runs toward large, complex, integrated projects — the kind that take longer to plan, cost more to execute, and either work very well or very badly.
Tanjong Pagar Centre worked. The fact that Wallich Residence has been consistently well-run since 2018, with all the integrated components continuing to function as intended, reflects how GuocoLand approached the build. That level of execution matters for buyers thinking about long-term asset quality.
Wallich Residence vs Other Luxury Developments
vs South Beach Residences — Also an integrated CBD development, freehold, Beach Road. Different neighbourhood energy, different buyer type. Worth comparing if you’re not fixed on Tanjong Pagar.
vs Marina One Residences — Integrated, CBD, closer to Marina Bay financial district. These two come up together often in the same buyer conversations. Good reason for that — they serve similar needs from slightly different angles.
vs Boulevard 88 — Freehold, District 10, Orchard area. Quiet residential enclave. Nothing like Wallich Residence in character — suits someone who wants prime address without CBD intensity.
vs Nouvel 18 — Freehold, Anderson Road, boutique 156-unit development designed by Jean Nouvel. Low density, private lift access, very different feel. Both are at the top of the Singapore luxury market but attract completely different buyers.
vs One Draycott — Freehold, Draycott Park, D10. Quiet and residential. Opposite end of the spectrum from Wallich Residence in terms of location energy.

Living at Wallich Residence puts you in the middle of that shift, above all of it.

Orchard Road — 8-minute drive, or a simple MRT ride from Tanjong Pagar on the East-West Line.
Marina Bay — 4 minutes by car.
Changi Airport — around 16 minutes via the East Coast Parkway.
Wallich Residence Transport and Connectivity
Residents at Wallich Residence will have direct access to Tanjong Pagar MRT station at their doorsteps. Linked to both the North-South and East-West MRT lines, the underground station is located at Tanjong Pagar Centre, right below the residential building. It is also situated in close proximity to popular districts such as Orchard Road (an 8 minute drive away), Marina Bay (a 4 minute drive away) and Changi International Airport (a 16 minute drive away). Other parts of this small city can be easily-reached via the Ayer Rajah and Marina Coastal Expressways, main highways which are connected to the Tanjong Pagar area.
Not Ground Level. Sky Level.
Wallich Residence doesn’t follow the usual condo playbook of putting a gym and pool at the bottom of the building. The facilities here are spread across four dedicated levels, all of them sitting high above the city. Three of those floors belong entirely to residents. The fourth one, The Concierge, is the only level that anyone from outside can step into — and even then, it’s staffed specifically to help residents with whatever they need, not for general public use.
The three resident-only floors are called The Apex, Cloud 220, and Social 180. Each one has a different purpose and a different feel. One’s for unwinding on your own, one’s built for entertaining, and one sits so high up that going there just to take in the view is a completely valid reason to visit. There’s thought behind how the levels are split — it doesn’t feel like facilities thrown together to fill a brochure.
First, the Building
Tanjong Pagar Centre — the integrated development that Wallich Residence is part of — stands at 290 metres. That’s the tallest building in Singapore. The residential units themselves start at floor 39 and go all the way up to floor 64. So when the brochure says views begin at 180 metres above sea level, that’s not puffery. That’s just where the building starts letting people live.
Glass-cantilevered balconies push outward from the tower, giving residents a place to actually step outside and take in what’s around them — the city below, the waterfront in the distance. And at the very top, The Apex works as a sky observatory. Come up during golden hour, or wait until the city lights switch on at dusk, and it hits differently every time.
Breaking Down Each Level
The Wallich Concierge — Level 39
This is where residents first arrive into the building’s amenity experience, and it’s set up to feel like checking into a proper five-star hotel — except you live here. The concierge team on this floor handles the practical side of life: restaurant bookings, transport, housekeeping, whatever needs doing. You don’t have to think about it. You just ask and it gets sorted.
The infinity pool also sits at Level 39. At 180 metres above sea level, with the city laid out in front of you, it’s one of those things that takes a moment to get used to — in the best way.
Social 180
This floor is built for being around people. Or, if you want, for being completely alone in a well-designed space. There’s a landscaped garden out here, a jacuzzi, a recreation room, and the infinity pool with open views of the sea and sky stretching out beyond the city. The pool lounge works well if you want to read something without being disturbed. The BBQ area handles the other end of the spectrum — gathering friends, cooking together, making an evening of it. Ya Shi Yuan, a dining option on this same floor, means you don’t even have to go downstairs for a proper meal.
Cloud 220
Higher up in the tower, Cloud 220 feels noticeably quieter than Social 180. The centrepiece here is a private library — a real one, with proper books and proper seating, the kind of space that makes you want to spend a slow afternoon there. The floor also has smaller spaces suited to gatherings that don’t need a crowd — more intimate, more personal. It’s the kind of level that residents who work from home tend to gravitate toward when they want a change of environment without leaving the building.
The Apex — Level 62
The top of the residential amenity stack. Sky observatory. Open observation platforms. Views that cover the entire city and reach out to the waterfront. There’s genuinely nothing else in Singapore’s residential market that sits at this elevation or offers this kind of perspective. Residents bring guests up here deliberately, specifically to show them — and it doesn’t lose its effect with repetition. It’s the kind of space that reminds you why the address matters.
Within the Wallich Residence Floor Plan, there are a large range of 181 units available, with different sizes and layouts to accomodate to your living needs. Perched above Tanjong Pagar Centre, the tallest building in Singapore, these luxury apartments promise stunning views of the city and waterfront, incomparable to most residential projects.
In fact, the windows of all units are full-length, transparent ones that welcome large amounts of natural light into the home, contributing to the bright and airy ambience of each unit.
