About Jit Poh Building

Jit Poh Building is an 11-storey office block at 19 Keppel Road, Singapore 089058, on the southern edge of Tanjong Pagar in District 2. JLL describes it as a 3-storey podium with an 8-storey office tower above. According to leasing agent Corporate Visions, the building was refurbished in 2011. Its original completion year and developer are not published in the sources checked.

Today it is a multi-tenanted commercial building offering small and mid-sized office units, usually at lower rents than the newer towers around Tanjong Pagar MRT. Keppel Road runs alongside the former Tanjong Pagar port area, which is planned for long-term redevelopment as part of the Greater Southern Waterfront.

Interesting facts

  • The name is a link to Singapore's newspaper history. Jit Poh means daily newspaper, and the building's Chinese name, ζ—₯ζŠ₯倧厦, translates as Daily News Building.

  • The National Library Board holds a photograph titled as the office of Sin Chew Jit Poh at Keppel Road, dated between 1972 and 1982. Sin Chew Jit Poh was a major Chinese daily first published in 1929, with earlier offices on Robinson Road.

  • Sin Chew Jit Poh merged with Nanyang Siang Pau in March 1983 to form Lianhe Zaobao and Lianhe Wanbao, which ended its run as a separate title in Singapore.

  • The National Archives also holds a photograph of the building showing its Chinese characters on the facade.
