Keppel South Central completes construction and welcomes a leading financial services group as its first anchor tenant

Keppel Ltd. (Keppel) is pleased to announce the completion of Keppel South Central, its flagship commercial tower located in the heart of Tanjong Pagar and at the gateway to the Greater Southern Waterfront. The 33-storey commercial tower has attained its Temporary Occupation Permit and secured a leading financial services group as its first anchor tenant. With this, nearly 50% of the office space and retail units at Keppel South Central are either committed or being actively negotiated. 

Mr Louis Lim, CEO, Real Estate of Keppel, said, “Keppel South Central, with its state-of-the-art technologies, super low energy design and 24/7 facilities, sets a new benchmark for modern workspaces in Singapore.

“We are pleased to welcome our first anchor tenant who will experience this next-generation smart building designed for the talents of tomorrow. We have also garnered strong interest from prospective tenants including major multinational corporations in the technology, finance and professional services sectors, who are attracted to the building’s flexible and innovative urban space solutions. We are confident that Keppel South Central will support our tenants and businesses in their pursuit of greater productivity and sustainability. We look forward to welcoming our tenants, who are expected to move into their new spaces progressively from June.”

A smart, sustainable hub for the talents of tomorrow

Keppel South Central is located along Hoe Chiang Road and is a short walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT station and the upcoming Prince Edward Road MRT station, which is set to open on the Circle Line in 2026. The office tower will be one of the key drivers in the rejuvenation of Tanjong Pagar through its premium workspaces and placemaking activities, which support the Singapore Government’s vision to transform the Central Business District into a dynamic, mixed-use hub where people can live, work and play.

Designed by global architecture and design firm NBBJ, Keppel South Central offers approximately 650,000 square feet of technology-forward, super low energy spaces. The building is a showcase of Keppel’s expertise in driving Sustainable Urban Renewal, featuring advanced green solutions such as high-performance facade systems that minimise solar heat gain, smart building management systems and the use of renewable energy. In addition, Keppel also offers best-in-class end-to-end solutions such as pre-fitted spaces and customised fitted spaces. With these sustainable features, technologies and services, Keppel South Central supports tenants in meeting their space requirements and sustainability goals.

With floor-to-ceiling heights of 3.2 meters, the building provides open, expansive, Grade-A workspaces that enhance comfort and creativity. To further support productivity and connectivity, Keppel South Central is 5G-enabled and fitted with leading-edge technology, including facial recognition access, smart lighting and micro-zoned air-conditioning systems in designated areas that cater for 24/7 business operations. Additionally, collaborations with leading AI solution providers are being explored to potentially implement features that will enable Keppel South Central to become an AI-ready building for its tenants in the future. Tenants can also enjoy a plethora of retail offerings and facilities such as a swimming pool, a fully equipped gymnasium, a sky terrace with panoramic views, a social kitchen for collaborative activities, as well as end-of-trip facilities for cyclists and joggers.

In recognition of its myriad innovative and green features, Keppel South Central has garnered the Building and Construction Authority’s BCA Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy certification. The building has also received the WiredScore Platinum and SmartScore Platinum certifications by global digital connectivity rating scheme, WiredScore, for its top-of-the-line digital infrastructure. Keppel South Central is also WELL Core Pre-certified for its design that prioritises occupant health, well-being and productivity under the globally recognised WELL Building Standard.
