This sketch is a repost on Customs House, OUE Tower and Clifford Pier. I am following the development of "Heritage Bayfront" as I called it. OUE called it "OUE Bayfront" and Fullerton Group or Sino Group from Hong Kong which is also a sister company of Far East Organization, called it "Fullerton Heritage".

Part of the "Singapore’s downtown necklace of heritage gems", Heritage Bayfront stretches from Collyer Quay to Shenton Way, encapsulating the rich history and cultural significance of these heritage buildings now house mainly hotels and restaurants. Public can still walk along the bayfront and many big and small events are planned around the year for the public to enjoy.

Customs House:
Super Loco, a Mexican resaturant now occupied the Customs House with a view of the Marina Bay, is part of OUE Bayfront and Fullerton Heritage. OUE was established as part of Overseas Union Bank, one of Singapore’s leading financial institutions at the time, which sought to enter the hotel industry. Customs House, a public building built by Public Works Department in the late 60s, used to house the Singapore Customs Police, which was responsible for watching over one of the world’s busiest harbours as Singapore’s trade and shipping thrived from the 1960s onwards.

OUE Tower:
I remember watching and dinning at a restaurant called Neptune Theatre Restaurant on top that staged topless cabaret shows. Now it is called OUE Tower along OUE Bayfront and houses the Tong Le Private Dinning with a stunning panoramic view on top."OUE was incorporated in Singapore on 8 February 1964, the year before Singapore’s independence. The company was established as part of Overseas Union Bank, one of Singapore’s leading financial institutions at the time, which sought to enter the hotel industry"

Clifford Pier:
Clifford Pier was the arrival point of our forefathers in 1933. It was widely and affectionately known in Chinese as ‘Red Lamp Pier’ (红灯码头). It now stands elegantly at our historic waterfront that began as a bustling trading port in those days. Clifford Pier as part of the Fullerton Heritage managed by Fullerton Bay Hotel is now a up-market restaurant and venue for wedding banquets and events.
