Samsung, Credit Suisse, CapitaLand moving out of Singapore CBD

Off to the suburbs they go.

According to Knight Frank, apart from the influx of new legal practices following the approval of licences for international legal firms to practice in Singapore, Social Media, Insurance and Medical Research companies are also expanding in Singapore. For example, Facebook recently expanded its office space at 158 Cecil Street.

Decentralizations and Relocations: While there are companies looking to enter Raffles Place such as Commodity and Shipping Companies, prominent Multi-National Corporations such as Samsung and Credit Suisse are shifting their back office operations out of the Central Business District into suburban locations such as Mapletree Business City and One@Changi.

At the same time, CapitaLand will be shifting their corporate office from Capital Towers to Westgate located at Jurong East in 2015.

In addition, there are trends of serviced offices branching their business outside of the CBD into Suburban areas. Servcorp Serviced Offices has taken up a whole floor at PSA Building located in the Alexandra Precinct. Also, Regus will be opening an office at Tampines Junction in November 2012.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
