At its heart is Marina Bay Financial Centre, the purpose-built financial district of the new downtown. On the 3.55 hectare site is a breathtaking blend of three office towers offering 3 million square feet of prime Grade A office space, two residential towers of 630,000 square feet comprising of approximately 660 luxury apartments and more than 160,000 square feet of subterranean retail space all clustered around a beautiful waterfront park.

MBFC is simultaneously prestigious and contemporary, a development that is central to the future of business in Singapore and the region. MBFC has been called Asia s Canary Wharf. It is quite simply Asia s best business address.

THREE OF ASIA S MOST RESPECTED DEVELOPERS MBFC was chosen due primarily to location, timing and cost considerations as well as the quality of the developers.

8 THREE OF ASIA S MOST RESPECTED DEVELOPERS MBFC was chosen due primarily to location, timing and cost considerations as well as the quality of the developers. We are very excited by this new investment it is the right building, available to us at the right time, right place and right cost. Lim Cheng Teck, CEO, Standard Chartered, Singapore. We wanted to establish a physical presence that would reflect Deutsche Bank s commitment to its Singapore-based Asia-Pacific hub and support the bank s future growth strategy. One Raffles Quay best met the criteria. Ronny Tan, Chief Country Manager, Deutsche Bank, Singapore (tenant at One Raffles Quay). Marina Bay Financial Centre is a partnership of three of Asia s major developers Cheung Kong (Holdings), Hongkong Land and Keppel Land. They have more than 200 years of collective experience in the design, construction and management of commercial buildings in this region. The developers most recent collaboration was One Raffles Quay, which forms the gateway to Marina Bay. One Raffles Quay was 100% leased before completion, and attracted a tenant mix of some of the world s leading investment banks, accounting practices and fund management firms.

11 MBFC is in the heart of the current central business district and is directly linked to two Mass Rapid Transit stations (Raffles Place and the new Landmark) through air-conditioned retail malls. There are fast, easy connections to the rest of the island via public transport and Changi Airport is 20 minutes away.

12 BESPOKE OFFICE SPACE Being spread out on fewer floors than our existing layout favours an environment conducive to efficiency and inter-office relationships. Daniel Truchi, CEO, SG Private Banking Asia-Pacific (tenant at One Raffles Quay).

Space is available on shell and core basis, allowing you the freedom to incorporate your own design, saving you time and money.

13 MBFC consists of three office towers with floorplates ranging from 21,000 square feet to over 45,000 square feet. For maximum efficiency and flexibility, every floor at MBFC has large, regular column-free space. Floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of the natural light and provide spectacular views. Space is available on shell and core basis, allowing you the freedom to incorporate your own design, saving you time and money. For greater connectivity there are knock out panels for both staircases and cabling. There are dedicated tenant risers within the core as well as space for tenants gensets and back-up chillers. All floors at MBFC can accommodate trading operations comparable to any of Asia s leading buildings. You also enjoy the flexibility of fitting out your office with extra headroom, more power and higher raised flooring.

14 BUILDING SERVICES We are taking the opportunity to upgrade into a new building that has the floorplate to suit the bank s growing needs in Singapore and the region. David Wong, Managing Director & Chief Executive, ABN AMRO, Singapore (tenant at One Raffles Quay).

15 The floor plates at MBFC are built around central cores with the service elements of the building: passenger lifts, service lifts, electrical risers, air-con handling units (AHU) and toilets. This has several advantages. Without the need for long corridors, access to the offices is greatly simplified. The building s management team can undertake maintenance of plant without needing to access the tenant s premises. It is easier to subdivide the floors. In a perfect fusion of form and function, the finishes, fixtures and fittings in the bathrooms, lobby and elsewhere are of a high standard appropriate for such a prestigious development.

17 Business continuity planning is increasingly important for premises decisions. The two M&E floors in each tower are purposebuilt to accommodate tenants generator sets and back-up chillers, if required. In response, at MBFC there is a dual power supply from different substations, and dual telecommunications cables are routed from different telephone exchanges. The electrical risers are far enough apart that there is little chance of them both being down at the same time. Twenty-four-hour advanced security systems are in place so that business can continue uninterrupted around the clock.

18 PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS Another factor for us is the landlord. The One Raffles Quay team has been very supportive. Stephen Chatham, Group Services Manager, The Executive Centre (tenant at One Raffles Quay).

Raffles Quay Asset Management, who established their credentials as managers of One Raffles Quay, are managing and maintaining all the buildings of MBFC to the same international standards.

19 Raffles Quay Asset Management, who established their credentials as managers of One Raffles Quay, are managing and maintaining all the buildings of MBFC to the same international standards. Regular cleaning crews. Maintenance engineers on hand at all times. Professional security staff patrolling. Nothing left to chance. For tenants, access to the lift lobbies is by security card. A tap on the reader opens a turnstile. Once in the lift, the card can permit access only to the floor the holder works on or is authorised to visit. Visitors check in at the concierge counter in the lobby. CCTV systems monitor all main entrances and exits 24/7. Even at the carpark boomgates, there are security personnel. With all these safeguards in place, the premises function quietly and efficiently day and night.
