8 Shenton Way (Chinese: 八珊顿道;Chinese: Bā Shān Dùn Dǎo), previously The Treasury and Temasek Tower, is the sixth tallest skyscraper in the city of Singapore, with a height of 235 metres. It is currently the tallest cylindrical building in the world. Built in 1986 as Treasury Building, it has 52 stories and is one of the prominent buildings in the business district. The tower houses 16 double deck elevators supplied by Otis. Singapore's present Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, once had his office in the building. The building was renamed to Temasek Tower (simplified Chinese: 淡马锡大厦) when the Ministry of Finance relocated to The Treasury on High Street. Advertising agency BBDO Worldwide hosts its Asia Pacific Headquarters in there. The management consulting firm Bain & Company's Singapore office is located on the top floor.

In April 2007, CapitaLand sold Temasek Tower to MGP Raffle Pte Ltd.^[1] Temasek Tower was then renamed, and is currently known only by its address 8 Shenton Way.
