MBFC devt sees grand opening

Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC), the largest integrated development in Singapore’s CBD was officially opened by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Wednesday.

MBFC comprises three office towers of nearly three million sq ft of prime Grade A office space. There are also two residential towers with 649 luxury apartments and 179,000 sq ft of retail space.

Towers 1 & 2 and Marina Bay Link Mall are now fully occupied, while Tower 3 has achieved an occupancy rate of 88 percent.

Commenting on the development, Moray Armstrong, Executive Director for Office Services at CBRE, said: “The office towers at MBFC are synonymous with Singapore’s emergence as a truly global financial and business hub. The development name and brand is recognised internationally and MBFC resonates with multinational occupiers. The residential units have set the benchmark for inner city living.”

Aside from the physical transformation, MBFC has also set the bar high for future office buildings in the city.

“MBFC benefits from size – with over 3 million sq ft of commercial space it is the largest office development in the city. This offers scalability for many large occupiers who might otherwise be constrained in accommodating growth. The project’s phenomenal leasing success and the strength of the tenants’ profile demonstrates this appeal,” Armstrong added.

PHASE 1 of the new Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) mega office development is now 72 per cent leased, thanks to mining company BHP Billiton taking a further four floors.

The company has taken the additional floor space at Tower Two which, together with Tower One, comprises the first phase of the ambitious project intended as a seamless extension of the Central Business District.

BHP committed to 142,000 sq ft at Tower Two a year ago and is now slated to have a total leased floor area for 10 years from 2011 of 231,000 sq ft on levels 40 to 50 of Tower Two.

Phase 2 of MBFC will be complete when Tower Three has been opened. But already, about 64 per cent of total office space in Phases 1 and 2 has been leased.

The three office towers have almost three million sq ft of grade A office space. MBFC will also have two residential towers of 649 luxury apartments, and 176,000 sq ft of retail space.

Mr Wilson Kwong, chief executive of Raffles Quay Asset Management, which manages the centre, said BHP’s decision to take up additional space is testament to the MBFC’s vision of being Asia’s best business address. Continue reading
