Bigger, Better, Bolder – CBRE Relocates and Expands Singapore City Centre Office

Singapore, 15 May 2025 – CBRE will tomorrow commence operations in its new Singapore CBD office at Level 16, Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) Tower 1. This relocation is part of an expansion with a tagline of “Bigger, Better, Bolder.”

CBRE’s new city centre office comes with 21,000 square feet of space on an entire single floor plate – a key consideration in its choice of the new location from among available options.

Moray Armstrong, CBRE Managing Director, Singapore Advisory, explained the aspirations behind the expansion, “Our new and bigger city centre office delivers increased floor space, and even more importantly the ability to accommodate an even wider range of services, capabilities, and professionals. This will bring even deeper and more impactful perspectives across the real estate sector, and this workplace will act as a showcase of the best of CBRE.”

Michael Tay, CBRE Singapore Advisory Deputy Managing Director and Head of Capital Markets, added, “The MBFC office is not only bigger, but also better. The business community and the workplace are evolving rapidly, and CBRE is taking the lead in building superior offices of the future. Better facilities, amenities, and technology allied to a focus on sustainability features reflect our commitment to our employees and clients alike. This enhanced workplace environment will greatly impact wellbeing, productivity, and ultimately quality of output.”



Aligned with CBRE’s ambitions to meet the highest standards as a sustainability leader in real estate, the office space incorporates features to meet the requirements for credentials such as Green Mark Platinum, WELL, and LEED Gold. CBRE is putting together submissions for formal certification with the relevant organisations once operations commence.

CBRE will also introduce smart working features in this new space, including state-of-the-art meeting and video-conferencing spaces to facilitate collaboration, a large social hub served by a barista, and workspaces designed to accommodate neuro-diversity. 

These will be complemented by technology to enhance operational efficiency, resource use, and comfort. For example, there will be technology to monitor and optimise air quality, occupancy, energy consumption by zones, lighting levels, and noise levels. In addition, users will be able to customise space settings, and some areas will even feature circadian lighting and sound-scaping to automatically match outdoor light and weather conditions, etc.

Greg Hyland, CBRE Head of Capital Markets, Asia Pacific, commented, “With this investment, we are recognising Singapore’s position as a major market and regional hub. As the leading real estate firm, CBRE constantly strives for excellence, expertise, and innovation. Our clients rightly hold us to the highest standards and expect us to deliver consistently superior outcomes. This MBFC office is a bolder statement towards these commitments.”

“The Marina Bay location places us right at the heart of Singapore’s business community, allowing us to enhance our client and employee experience. This part of the CBD offers vibrancy with easy access to transport nodes and amenities that cater to work, live, and play. It is an ideal position from which we can drive growth in the centre of Singapore’s financial district”, Mr Armstrong concluded.

CBRE’s head office in Singapore remains at Paya Lebar Quarter – PLQ3, where it has occupied 30,000 square feet on a single level since June 2019. Enhancement works are planned for this office following the completion of the city centre office move.
