About 6 Raffles Quay
6 Raffles Quay is a 25-storey strata-titled office tower in Singapore's Central Business District, in postal District 1. It stands on a corner plot where Raffles Quay meets Telegraph Street. Leasing agents give its completion year as 1992. The building was previously known as John Hancock Tower, and some directories still use that name. JLL has marketed units here as freehold.
The tower is used as offices, with floors owned by different parties rather than a single landlord. Typical floor plates are around 9,800 sq ft, according to leasing agents, and many floors are divided into smaller suites. Car parking is unusual for the area: about 114 lots sit on podium levels 3 to 9, above the lobby and below the office floors. A sheltered drop-off point fronts the entrance.
Interesting facts
The building was formerly called John Hancock Tower, and the old name still appears in some car park and office directories.
Instead of a basement car park, the parking decks are stacked above ground between the lobby and the offices.
Freehold strata offices are uncommon around Raffles Place, where most towers sit on 99-year or 999-year leases. Agents highlight this when floors here come up for sale.
In March 2024 JLL put a half-floor office on level 16 on the market, describing partial sea and Marina Bay views.
