New Shaw Tower to become high-tech workspace: Lendlease

The construction of the 200-metre tower is seen to be completed in 2025.

The new Shaw Tower will be redeveloped into a flexible workplace which has top-grade technologies and pandemic-resilient features whilst retaining the heritage within the building, real estate investment trust company, Lendlease, said.

Lendlease, which was appointed by Shaw Towers Realty to handle the redevelopment, said they started the construction, which is expected to be finished in 2025.

The 200-metre tower will have floorplates between 17,000 and 19,000 square feet, Lendlease said.

To make Shaw Tower safe and seamless, there will be facial recognition, contactless entry, destination control lifts with automatic ultraviolet sterilisation, and smart lighting with internet of things.

Amidst the installation of technologies within the building, Lendlease said it will maintain Shaw’s heritage by incorporating elements of the original building into the redevelopment such as original Shaw Brothers from the roof facade, and previous Shine auditorium seats, amongst others.

In a bid to retain the heritage design of the building, Lendlease consulted experts in the Department of Architecture at National University of Singapore.

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.
