Completed in 2002 and developed by Chyau Fwu Development, it was designed by James Adams Design with DP Architects, inspired by New York's 1929 Chanin Building.

Visitors can expect an imposing Art Deco exterior with granite and bronze detailing, a spacious open plaza with sculptures including figures of Plato, Dante and others, and a grand 15-metre high lobby. The lobby houses Atlas, a grand gin bar and restaurant with Art Deco interiors, hand-painted ceiling and a towering gin tower. The building is an office tower, so visitors can explore the exterior plaza and ground-floor lobby and bar areas, with views of the surrounding Downtown Core and Bugis district.

Developed by Chyau Fwu Development Pte Ltd and constructed between 1999 and 2002, Parkview Square was designed by American firm James Adams Design with DP Architects.
