Background
The building was designed by Kisho Kurokawa and completed in 1994 as Lane Crawford Place .[1] It is now owned by Wharf Estates Singapore, formerly "Wheelock Properties (Singapore)",[2] a division of Hong Kong's Wheelock and Co.
It opened as 'Lane Crawford Place', housing the upmarket department store Lane Crawford over five floors.[3] It featured the first curved escalators in Singapore, echoing Lane Crawford's installation of the first public curved escalators in the world in 1993 at their [Times Square (Hong Kong)] location, developed by Mitsubishi Electric. The store shut in 1996 and the building was renamed Wheelock Place following Lane Crawford's exit.
