About GWP Centre

GWP Centre is a small commercial building at 36 Hongkong Street, Singapore 059675, between South Bridge Road and New Bridge Road near Boat Quay. It falls within postal District 1. Street directories record the address under the earlier name Holly Building, and list unit addresses 36, 36A, 36B and 36C. Very little has been published about the building under the GWP Centre name. In March 2023, property agency CBRE marketed a five-storey commercial building at 36 Hongkong Street that was described as completed in 2021, with a built-up area of about 7,279 sq ft on a 1,733 sq ft site and around 95 years left on a 99-year lease. That description appears to refer to this property.

The building is used as small offices, and a number of companies use it as their registered address.
