Colliers Singapore Unveils Sustainable Office, Prioritizing Employee Well-being

  • Colliers recognizes the importance of leading by example, ensuring that the company's own offices are situated in buildings where property owners prioritize environmental sustainability and tenant well-being. As their lease drew to a close, the Singapore team, comprising approximately 100 members, sought a new central office. In 2023, they chose a new space within the same building—Tower 2 in Asia Square—an outstanding complex in Marina Bay known for its energy efficiency. This 46-storey structure offers premium Grade A office spaces with spacious, efficient, and column-free floor plates, perfectly suited to the evolving needs of modern businesses.

    Asia Square has garnered numerous accolades for its environmentally conscious design and operations, including certifications such as the Building Construction Authority Green Mark Platinum and LEED Core & Shell Platinum. The tower boasts Singapore's largest photovoltaic cell solar panel atop its structure and houses the region's inaugural bio-diesel generation plant within a commercial building.

    In terms of environmental sustainability, Asia Square emerged as the most fitting choice in line with Colliers' worldwide pledge to minimize its carbon footprint. The team personalized their office space by integrating sustainable fit-out strategies and eco-conscious design components. Leveraging the high reusability of the current office fit-out and incorporating green enhancements such as increased greenery and energy-efficient motion sensors, they ensured that every facet of the office design contributes to fostering a more eco-friendly workplace.

    The new office embraces contemporary workplace trends, prioritizing culture, community, and collaboration. Notable features include adjustable sit-stand desks and ergonomic chairs for all staff, along with walking pads to encourage both physical and mental well-being. Additionally, one conference room features a standing boardroom table to promote more dynamic discussions. A versatile multi-purpose room caters to various employee needs. Choosing Asia Square Tower 2, and enhancing the space accordingly, demonstrates Colliers' commitment to creating productive environments that mirror sustainability objectives and cultivate a strong sense of community and collaboration.
