[edit] History
SIA Building was designed by Obayashi Gumi Corporation, and SAA Partnership, and structural engineering of the development was done by T. Y. Lin International[4]. Construction of the building was completed in 1998. Other firms involved in the development included Singapore Airlines, PCR Engineers Private Limited, PCR Engineers Private Limited, Rider Hunt Levett & Bailey, Levett & Bailey Chart, and Quantity Surveyors Ltd.[5]
[edit] Architecture
The SIA Building was one of the first high-rises in Singapore with its exterior made out of glass. As the flagship building for Singapore Airlines, it bears the Singapore Airlines' logo. The roof of the building also incorporates a tail fin design, similar to that of an airplane.[6]
[edit] Selling of building
In 2006[7], Singapore Airlines sold the SIA Building to TSO Investment, which is a unit of a real estate fund managed by CLSA Capital Partners. It comes at a price of S$343.9 million, which amounts to some $1,165 dollars per square foot. According to the company, the sale was "in line with the non-core business strategy". It was valued at $118.8 million then. SIA subsequently used proceeds from the sale for investment and growing the company and its subsidiaries.[8]
