OCBC Centre is a 197.7 m (649 ft), 52-storey skyscraper in Singapore. Serving as the current headquarters of OCBC Bank, the building was completed in 1976 and was the second-tallest building in the country, and South East Asia, at that time.[4] There are two extensions, OCBC Centre South and OCBC Centre East. There is an Executive Club on one of the higher floors of the building. OCBC Centre East has food and beverage outlets.
Architecture
The building is an example of Brutalist architecture, a popular architectural style in the 1970s.[5]
