According to CNA, Singapore Police said officers were alerted to an assistance call at Block 248, Choa Chu Kang Avenue 2 at about 8.55pm.
When police arrived, they found a 21-year-old woman lying motionless at a lift lobby on the 12th floor.
She was pronounced dead at the scene by a paramedic from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).
Authorities confirmed that a 22-year-old man was arrested in connection with the case and later taken to hospital.
