International Plaza (Chinese: 凯联大厦; pinyin: Kǎilián dàshà) is a high-rise commercial and residential building on Anson Road in Tanjong Pagar, within the Downtown Core of Singapore.
It currently houses the Honorary Consulate of Malta on the 15th floor and the Honorary Consulate of Tuvalu on the 25th floor of the building.
In 1966, the Urban Renewal Department of the Housing and Development Board was formed to facilitate greater flexibility and autonomy in comprehensive redevelopment of Singapore's Central Area. The development of International Plaza was the result of the department's third Sales of Sites programme in 1969.
To avoid affecting operations within the building, construction of the International Plaza was carried out in three phases. The first phase involved the construction of a seven-storey commercial and retail podium. This was followed by the second phase of building the office tower. The last phase was construction of the apartment units and penthouses above the offices.
