50 Collyer Quay development now 22% pre-committed

Allen & Overy LLP and Bain & Company SE Asia are among the initial tenants for 22% or 88,000 sq ft of Overseas Union Enterprise’s 50 Collyer Quay development.

The entire development will comprise a total gross floor area of 503,469 sq ft, net lettable area of 412,000 sq ft, and 245 car parking spaces on four basement levels, according to an Overseas Union Enterprise report.

The office tower floor plates will range up to some 30,500 sq ft, with two of the floors designated as trading floors. The company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Clifford Development Pte Ltd, has pre-committed leases with several corporations including European bank Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB.

The report added that the former Overseas Union House is being redeveloped into a new Grade A 18-storey office tower; the iconic Change Alley Aerial Plaza Tower being conserved and the Change Alley Pedestrian Overhead Bridge being retrofitted to provide quick and sheltered link to the Raffles Place MRT station.

The conservation of the Change Alley Aerial Plaza Tower and the refurbishment of the Change Alley Pedestrian Overhead Bridge are targeted to complete simultaneously with the office tower in the first quarter of 2011.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
