The Instant Group has partnered with a multinational Financial Services company to procure, design and fit out an innovative 47,500 sq. ft. workspace in the heart of Singapore’s central business district.
The move consolidates two existing locations into one bringing over 500 employees together under one roof from October 2020.
One Marina Boulevard is a grade A building situated next to Raffles Place and the Marina Bay Financial Centre. The company has taken the space under Instant’s managed office solution, whereby Instant sources and operates the workspace on its behalf.
Instant provides the client with a fixed cost and a single supplier to manage and oversee the whole process - from acquiring the space, designing, fitting out, to facilities management whilst in occupation, and making good upon exit.
This is the second managed office that this Financial Services company has partnered with The Instant Group on in Asia Pacific following a similar 90,000 sq ft workspace that opened in Kuala Lumpur in 2017. The premium workspace will feature high quality design, built to the client’s global standards, with a strong focus on employee experience, delivered through a combination of the best on-site amenities and diverse, collaborative workplace experiences and technology.
The client’s Transaction Director commented:
“Real estate is ready for new ways of looking at workspace, and new forms of occupancy – Instant’s managed office is a real alternative to the conventional market giving us agility, value and speed to market.”
Sean Lynch, Managing Director of Instant Asia-Pacific, said:
“The tri-partite agreement is a strategy that works for both landlord and occupier, giving both parties an innovative workspace solution.
“We are seeing a surge in demand from corporate occupiers looking for solutions such as this; they are perfect for firms that are looking to occupy bespoke space quickly and efficiently while minimising initial expenditure.”
Instant has been delivering similar flexible office solutions for clients in Europe and the US for more than 12 years - delivering over 4 million sq. ft of space in the UK, US and EMEA.
Its turnkey managed office solution allows clients to occupy space designed to the client’s corporate standards without committing to a long-term lease and significant upfront costs. The manged solution from Instant offers significant savings to clients - it offers more flexible commercial terms compared to traditional delivery routes for commercial real estate by utilising Instant’s independent supply chain and driving value through the procurement and operation of workspace.
