OCBC to set up new hub, partner with SIT in $500m Punggol investment

It plans to complete the hub in Q1 2027.

OCBC will inject about $500m into the Punggol Digital District (PDD) with the establishment of a new 430,000 sq ft innovation hub and a multi-million dollar strategic partnership with the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT)

The hub, OCBC Punggol, will be completed in the first quarter of 2027.

The hub at 98 Punggol Way is directly connected to SIT’s Chua Thian Poh Discovery Hub via a red link bridge on the Collaboration Loop.

Additionally, OCBC Punggol connects to SIT through a large canopy along the Campus Boulevard, an 800-meter walkway that spans the district.

OCBC Punggol will occupy about 430,000 square feet across eight floors of a 12-storey mixed-use tower.

The tower, integrated with amenities such as a 200-room hotel, retail shops, and dining outlets, will make OCBC Punggol the largest OCBC office outside the central business district and the second largest after the Bank’s Chulia Street head office.

The hub will accommodate up to 4,000 employees, mainly from the bank’s technology workforce.

Meanwhile, OCBC said its partnership with SIT will drive innovation and talent development in fintech through the creation of a learning lab and the provision of scholarships.

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.
