SINGAPORE (June 21, 2016) – M+S Pte Ltd (M+S), a joint venture between Malaysia’s Khazanah Nasional and Singapore’s Temasek, has celebrated the topping out of Marina One, its flagship development in Singapore’s prestigious Marina Bay area. The development remains on track for completion for 2017.
“This is a special moment as we celebrate the topping out of Marina One, which is an emblem of the important partnership between Singapore and Malaysia. Situated in the centre of the Marina Bay precinct, Marina One is an anchor development for Marina Bay as it emerges into a vibrant, liveable and highly sought-after address as one of Asia’s leading financial centres,” said Tan Sri Azman Yahya, Chairman of M+S.
As the newest and largest integrated development to be completed in the coming year, Marina One will accelerate the evolution of Marina Bay into a world-class business district and strengthen its position as the ideal business address for global multinational companies in Asia.
“We are pleased to secure strong office leasing pre-commitments of over half a million square feet, details of which will be announced soon. These are some of the largest office leasing deals in 2016 and we continue to be in active negotiations with many other multinational companies who are looking at securing office spaces over multiple floors. Prospective tenants are taking this opportunity to move into Marina One as it is the only new development in the prime Central Business District that offers excellent connectivity, efficient floor plates, and lush green biodiversity at the heart of the development,” said Ms Kemmy Tan, Chief Executive Officer of M+S.
The signed leases, together with those under documentation, will bring Marina One’s take-up to over 550,000sq ft.
“A few privileged companies will have the rare opportunity to have exclusive sky signs at Marina One, putting their mark onto the signature Singapore skyline,” added Ms Tan.
