Raffles City was developed in the 1980s as a major integrated development on the former Raffles Institution site, designed by architect I.M. Pei and opened in 1986. Developed by Raffles City Pte Ltd, a joint venture involving CapitaLand and other partners, it was one of Singapore's early large-scale mixed-use projects combining retail, office, hotel and convention facilities in the Downtown Core.

Raffles City is a prominent commercial and hospitality hub in the Civic District, representing Singapore's integrated mixed-use development model. It serves as a central shopping, dining and business meeting place for locals and visitors due to its location between the Civic District, Marina Centre and City Hall area.
