Standing Tall in the CBD
Tong Eng Building sits at 101 Cecil Street, quietly holding its place in the Central Business District. Completed in the early 1980s, this commercial high-rise continues to serve as a reliable home for many professional offices. It’s not flashy, but there’s a consistency here that’s worth noting.
What the Building Offers
This 26-storey tower is built on a 999-year leasehold tenure from 1885—practically freehold in today’s context. It holds a gross floor area of just under 18,000 square metres, with a land size of around 1,600 square metres. Each level spans roughly 8,000 square feet, offering column-free layouts that make space planning easier.

What draws many businesses to Tong Eng Building is its location. Just steps from Telok Ayer MRT, and within walking distance to both Raffles Place and Shenton Way MRT stations, commuting is straightforward.
Its neighbours include office towers like CapitaSpring, Frasers Tower, and Oxley Tower, yet Tong Eng Building holds its own with a simpler proposition—central, no-nonsense office space.
