A modern workspace that inspires collaboration

Datacom was situated in a fringe location for a number of years. The company wanted a new office in a central Kuala Lumpur location to better attract talent and be closer to its clients.

To find, facilitate and fit-out a branded and contemporary workspace for 150 people within a   3-month delivery deadline.

• No corporate real estate team in the local market, resulting in limited expertise and resources
• The need to attract and retain top quality staff demanded a high-quality and modern workspace solution
• To create an office environment to complement Datacom’s brand and working culture and also reflect the local landscape and heritage
• To ensure flexibility through an extendable 3-year lease
