    CITY Developments Limited (CDL) on Wednesday unveiled the revamped Republic Plaza, its flagship property in Raffles Place, following an extensive S$70 million asset enhancement initiative (AEI) which started in April 2018.

    Although the building had previously undergone several enhancements, this was its first major facelift since it was completed in 1996. At 280 m tall, the 66-storey skyscraper stands as a Grade A office landmark in the central business district.
