Capturing Key Occupier Trends:
How Shaw Tower Redefines Office Spaces in Singapore
The modern workplace is constantly evolving. According to CBRE’s 2023 Singapore Office Occupier Sentiment Survey, workplace transformation is underway as Singapore exits the pandemic and business activity returns to normal. As more emphasis is placed on improving employee activity and increasing office utilisation, there is strong demand to adapt and “build a better office” to meet the fast-evolving needs of employees. The findings of the survey depict numerous occupier trends that have gained prominence and these trends reflect the changing needs and expectations of office occupiers and broader societal shifts impacting interactions with workspaces. As demand for flexible, sustainable, and digitally connected spaces for pandemic resilience grows among tenants, Shaw Tower stands out as an excellent example of innovation and quality.
Shaw Tower not only perfectly captures the essence of these important occupier trends, but also sets a new standard for Grade A office buildings in Singapore. Shaw Tower has designed office spaces that enhance occupier well-being, collaboration, and productivity, all of which aligns with the needs of today’s workforce.
