BNP Paribas cuts back on Singapore office footprint due to costs

The bank occupies six floors in Ocean Financial Centre.

BNP Paribas will reportedly not renew some of the space it occupies in Ocean Financial Centre. 

The French bank occupies six floors at the Keppel REIT-owned building.

A report from Bloomberg stated that the bank will let go of some of its space due to rising commercial rent costs.

Bloomberg also reported that BNP Paribas will transfer at least 300 of their back-end staff at 20 Collyer Quay to Mapletree Business City to free up location for those affected by the move, though this may still be subject to change.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
