IOI Properties Group (IOIPG) had officiated the Topping Out Ceremony of IOI Central Boulevard Towers in end 2023, and is well on course to receiving Temporary Occupation Permit in Q1 2024. IOI Central Boulevard Towers is poised to be a premium mixed-use development, a gleaming landmark in Marina Bay. When fully completed, it will introduce about 1.26 million sq ft of Grade A office space and 30,000 sq ft of retail and F&B space across the 48-storey West Tower, the 16-storey East Tower and a seven-storey podium. To-date, more than 60% of net lettable area (NLA) has been committed or are in advanced stages of negotiation.

“We envisioned IOI Central Boulevard Towers to be a first-rate, vibrant masterpiece that redefines the future of work. Apart from creating an iconic landmark with exclusive, efficient and flexible workspaces, we wanted to challenge boundaries to engender people-centric, enlivening and empowering workplace experiences with productivity, collaboration and well being as primary design drivers,” said Mr. Lee Yeow Seng, CEO of IOIPG.

“Our vision has become a reality. IOI Central Boulevard Towers stand tall as a spectacular new architectural masterpiece in Singapore’s CBD. This is underpinned by an integrated, connected and sustainable workplace ecosystem harnessing the most leading edge technologies. Its future-proof features position IOI Central Boulevard Towers ahead of the game, setting it distinctively apart to cater to new and evolving work norms and priorities in the post-pandemic era,” added Mr. Lee.

“IOI Central Boulevard Towers has captured remarkably strong interest from prospective tenants from diverse sectors. This is in part stimulated by the tenants’ flight to quality, driven by limited new Grade A office supply – our development is the only premium Grade A development in the CBD for the next few years. Apart from securing commitments from global business leaders in technology and finance, we have also observed significant interests from players in asset management, FMCG, legal and other sectors. This is a strong acknowledgement of the development as an exemplary workplace with alluring design, unparalleled connectivity and thoughtful amenities built to foster professional excellence, wellness and community engagement. We expect the leasing momentum to stay upbeat as we near the completion date and with the continued additions of exclusive retailers and restaurants,” said Karen Lau, Head of Business of IOI Properties Singapore.
