One Comcentre, the redevelopment of Singtel’s former headquarters in the Orchard precinct, has been recognised for its world-leading human-centric design, marking a significant achievement for the Singaporean telco. Jointly developed with Lendlease, the project introduces over 1 million square feet of Grade A offices, retail, dining, wellness, and community spaces, setting a new standard for high-quality workplaces.
One Comcentre is the first development in Singapore to achieve a 6-star EXPIScore rating, a testament to its commitment to enhancing occupant experience. Dr. Marigold Kimura, the inventor of the EXPIScore rating, noted that the building underwent a rigorous assessment process, evaluated on 107 criteria including design, amenities, and innovation. “EXPIScore updates the rating criteria based on Singapore office worker surveys conducted every three years, to keep up with evolving expectations,” she said.
The development has also achieved Green Mark Platinum with a Zero Energy Rating under the BCA Green Mark Version 7 framework, highlighting its commitment to sustainability. Peter Holland, lead assessor at EXPIScore, praised the project for setting a new benchmark in sustainable development.
At the core of One Comcentre is Singtel’s advanced 5G+ connectivity, enabling high-speed, low-latency communications and supporting a range of AI applications. Gan Siok Hoon, Group Chief Corporate Officer at Singtel, stated, “One Comcentre represents our vision for the workplace of the future – one designed around people and enabled by technology.”
The recognition of One Comcentre underscores the evolving expectations of workplaces, combining thoughtful design with business performance and occupant wellbeing.
