Pearl Bank Apartments on May 11, 2019.

CapitaLand hosting a guided photowalk for the Instagram community to snap and share their images of the 38-storey soon to be redeveloped Pearl Bank Apartments with the wider public on May 11, 2019. They started with the Sunken Garden; then carpark rooftop; next apartment at Level 18; multipurpose hall at Level 28; and lastly at Level 37. It said that while building's facade has been well-photographed over the years, it will be the first time many of these Instagrammers are entering the compound of the private residential development. These will be chronicled under the hashtag #OnePearlBank.

Pearl Bank Apartments, a 38-storey building housing 288 units, was designed by Mr Tan Cheng Siong in 1970 to resemble a horseshoe.
