The Anchor Tenants
The developer has confirmed two anchor tenants, namely Microsoft Singapore and French integrated oil and gas company – Total Oil, which will occupy a combined space of 232,200 square feet (“sq. ft.”), as well as other established names in the financial, business and consumer goods sectors such as Sumitomo Corporation, Arup, Fonterra, Pacific Life and serviced office provider The Executive Centre.
The Milestone
Speaking at the sidelines of the topping out ceremony, Mr Christopher Tang, Chief Executive Officer of Frasers Centrepoint Singapore commented, “This is a memorable milestone for us. We are encouraged by the pre-commitment of over 70% as a testament to Frasers Tower being the top-of-mind choice for established organisations to grow their business. We are confident that Frasers Tower will be a leading landmark in the business district, catering to a contemporary workforce in the years to come.”
Mr Kevin Wo, Managing Director of Microsoft Singapore noted, “Frasers Tower offers Microsoft Singapore the opportunity to create a whole new experience of what a modern workplace environment should look like. It will showcase the best of Microsoft’s technology and services that will inspire our customers and partners to accelerate their digital transformation efforts, empowering every person and organisation to achieve more.”
With the growing demand for diversified office space that serves the dynamic and ever-changing needs of corporations in a major business hub like Singapore, Frasers Tower is set to evolve into a distinctive commercial landmark in the CBD and the upcoming Greater Southern Waterfront area.
“The location is an advantage as it gives us proximity to key business locations in the city and is well-connected to transport options. The green recreational spaces offered by Frasers Tower and its surrounding amenities will enhance our staff’s well-being as they enjoy an environment that meets their working, social and leisure needs,” said Mr Tan Yoong Heng, Office Leader for Arup, another major tenant at Frasers Tower.
