CapitaLand’s 40-storey premium office development CapitaGreen was opened today, just 36 months since construction began in 2012.
The Grade A office building offers 703,000 sq ft net lettable area (NLA) and features large column-free floor plates in sizes ranging from 22,000 sq ft to 26,000 sq ft. CapitaGreen also features a perimeter facade covered by living plants, and a rooftop wind scoop, which helps in naturally cooling the building.
In the opening ceremony, CapitaLand President and Group CEO Lim Ming Yan said: “I know many tenants have been attracted to CapitaGreen because of its sustainable design principles, which are aligned with their own corporate values and business focus,”
CapitaGreen now houses 30 multinational companies from diverse industry sectors including Bordier & Cie, Cargill, Catlin Asia Pacific, China Life Insurance, Fitness First, Jardine Lloyd Thompson, Jones Day, Lloyds Banking Group, Rakuten, Schroders Investment Management and South32. To date, the building’s aggregate committed occupancy stands at 83 percent or 538,200 sq ft of the total NLA.
A recipient of the Best Tall Building Award for Asia and Australasia Region 2015 and the Universal Design GoldPlus and Green Mark Platinum by the Building and Construction Authority, CapitaGreen is a joint development by CapitaLand, CapitaLand Commercial Trust and Mitsubishi Estate Asia.
