Public housing scales new heights in Singapore
SINGAPORE — On a clear day, you can see Indonesia’s Riau islands from the top of The Pinnacle@Duxton, a cluster of 50-story buildings with spectacular views of Singapore’s waterfront and financial district. But the seven towers of The Pinnacle do not host corporate headquarters, a five-star hotel or luxury apartments. It is a public housing project, the tallest and most ambitious ever undertaken by a city-state that prides itself on almost universal home ownership after four decades of rapid progress.
