New PDD to push sustainability, business opportunities

The new district would be crucial for Singapore and its commercial and business park sectors.

The new Punggol Digital District (PDD) would push through possibilities for a sustainable-built environment that supports occupiers in achieving goals to reduce carbon footprint and positively impact communities, Moray Armstrong, CBRE Singapore Managing Director, commented on the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement between JTC Corporation and UOB.

Armstrong also recognised the district's potential for financial growth and development, especially for professionals in the area.

"Its accessibility via public transport and major roads, proximity to residential neighbourhoods with a large proportion of working adults, and amenities, such as food and beverage outlets, add to the attraction of this new precinct. PDD embodies integrating work, life, and play in Real Estate," Armstrong said.

Armstrong added that the PDD is significant for Singapore and its commercial and business park sectors. "Creating high-quality facilities that attract, retain, and develop the best talent is likely to remain part of the formula for corporates to succeed and thrive," he said.

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.
