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.

EXPANDING SINGAPORE S BUSINESS DISTRICT
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.
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).
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.
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).
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.
BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING
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.
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. 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.
AMENITIES Singapore scores highest in Asia for overall quality of living. 2007 Worldwide Quality of Living Survey, Mercer Human Resource Consulting. Singapore: Most livable city in Asia. Political & Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC).
As an integrated development, MBFC offers a balanced mix of restaurants and bars, retail options, a gym and even haute dining on the 33rd floor of one of the towers. The Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort, Singapore Flyer, Gardens By The Bay, Esplanade Theatres, international and boutique hotels, serviced apartments and waterside F&B outlets are all within close proximity to MBFC. With easy access also to the waterfront bars and restaurants of nearby Boat Quay and Clarke Quay, there is ample scope to relax with colleagues or entertain clients.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT The developers of MBFC have shown great foresight and commitment in making MBFC an environmentally friendly building. Mah Bow Tan, Minister for National Development, Republic of Singapore. MBFC qualifies for inclusion in the Building Control Authority Green Mark scheme, which promotes sustainability in the built environment. Most significantly, MBFC incorporates the District Cooling System for the entire area, making more efficient use of precious water and power resources, thus enhancing the green credentials of the tenants as well as improving the quality of the indoor environment.
