The Pinnacle@Duxton (Chinese: 达士岭) (previously known as Duxton Plain Public Housing) is a 2.5-hectare residential complex located at 1 Cantonment Road, Singapore.〔http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_16898/travel_site_3919/5/〕The project features the world's two longest sky gardens of each, on both the 26th and 50th floors. All seven towers that form The Pinnacle@Duxton are the world's tallest public housing buildings.〔HDB's tallest (maybe costliest) flats go on sale, ''The Straits Times'', 29 May 2004〕〔Longer wait for tallest HDB blocks, ''The Straits Times'', 7 May 2004〕〔 The project consists of seven connected 50-storey towers, labelled 1A to 1G, with a total of 1,848 units. Unique amongst Housing and Development Board (HDB) developments, these units are designated as special types, S1 and S2, having altogether 35 different unit variations for buyers to choose from – with dissimilar combinations of features such as extended bays, balconies, bay windows and planter areas. In June 2010, The Pinnacle@Duxton was the recipient of the 2010 Best Tall Building Asia and Australasia award by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher = Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat )〕 On 8 August 2010, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong delivered his annual National Day message on the 51st-floor viewing gallery of The Pinnacle@Duxton. Also, owing to the sky gardens' popularity as an elevated viewing location for National Day firework displays on 9 August, entry for the day was publicly balloted. ==History== The Duxton Plain site is historically significant as the site of the first two ten-storey HDB blocks in the Tanjong Pagar area and amongst the oldest built by the HDB in the country.〔Update on the Duxton Plain Housing Development, ''Housing and Development Board'', 5 December 2003〕 The idea to redevelop Duxton Plain was put forward by Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew in August 2001,〔建50层摩天组屋？, ''Lianhe Zaobao'', 26 April 2004〕 to commemorate the historical significance of the previous blocks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Pinnacle@Duxton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
