Design of “campus in nature” also preserves more than half of the site’s initial green space
SINGAPORE - Home-grown multinational Surbana Jurong’s $400 million “campus in nature”, which officially opened its doors on March 13, was built at substantial savings of up to 15 per cent below the market rate.
The design of the “campus in nature” also preserves more than half of the site’s initial green space. The building itself has green areas such as gardens on the roofs, lush indoor spaces as well as a 60-year-old Banyan tree – the focal point in one of the external courtyards. He added that instead of the traditional develop-and-lease model, the lease came with a unique feature that allows Surbana Jurong a degree of latitude in choosing who else can lease space within the campus, rather than having M&G, the landlord, calling all the shots.“Instead, we want to attract tenants who can contribute to innovation, as well as research and development – like-minded folk who can collaborate with us and boost the business.
Notably, Mr Chiao said: “This campus is more than a global headquarters; it’s a living lab for innovating solutions and pushing the boundaries of sustainable development.”
