Launch of Bridge+ 79 Robinson Road sets the standard for workspace experience transformation
The downtown flexible workspace is part of CapitaLand’s core-flex offerings aiding enterprises in their quest to manage costs and improve operational resilience
Singapore, 14 January 2021 – Bridge+, CapitaLand’s wholly owned co-working and flexible workspace and community platform, has launched its first location within Singapore’s Central Business District at 79 Robinson Road, the 29-storey Grade A office building developed by CapitaLand, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd. This comes three years after the debut of Bridge+ flagship co-working centre in the Ascent building at Singapore Science Park 1.
Grounded in the understanding that enterprises would like to focus on the flexible utility of space to manage costs in order to combat ever-evolving business changes, deliver business continuity, and improve operational resiliency, the Bridge+ facilities at 79 Robinson Road offer membership-based flexible workspace solutions that support this elasticity of demand.
Flexible workspace solutions offered by 79 Robinson Road include turnkey workspaces, which are offices that may be customised to the requirements of the enterprises. Both long and short-term plug-and-play offices and workspaces are available anywhere from a month to multi-years for teams and organisations of varying sizes. These coworking memberships also provide access to the network of Bridge+ centres in Singapore. Enterprises that need a quick and easy workspace solution can opt for on-demand solutions charged by the day.
Each of these solutions aims to support a different usage scenario, while enabling enterprises and their employees to enjoy the optimal workplace experience that extends beyond their co-workers and feeding into the broader community of organisations housed within the same environment. The first group of tenants at Bridge+ 79 Robinson Road to enjoy these benefits include the Bank for International Settlements Innovation Hub, Bondevalue, Ekata and Tribe. Much like many of its customers from the commercial and business park portfolio, CapitaLand also adopts the core and flexible workspace model and will be taking up seats at Bridge+ 79 Robinson Road.
“With the introduction of Bridge+ 79 Robinson Road, our vision is to develop a destination in the centre of the CBD of Singapore, where our members can gather regularly to confer and collaborate around work and meetings spaces designed to enable these interactions. We do so through our community development initiatives and event-driven content programming to bring people together to make great things happen,” said Mr Chew Peet Mun, Managing Director, Workspace & Residential, CapitaLand Singapore. “Our focus is on attracting like-minded leaders and professionals who have an interest to contribute to the advancement of the community to co-locate and collaborate. Whether you are a leading enterprise setting up an innovation lab or a start-up scaling up for growth in the region, Bridge+ provides the community to help you succeed.”
Bridge+ members at any of its existing spaces are welcome to participate in carefully curated community activities that occur each month. These events cater to the particular passions of our members that align to a specific tribe. A tribe that focuses on or expresses an interest in a specific field such as FinTech, blockchain, sustainability, entrepreneurship and more. At 79 Robinson Road, Bridge+ has already begun working closely with partners such as Singapore FinTech Association, Asian Institute of Digital Finance and Tribe to deliver a series of community activities in relation to sustainable innovation for financial services.
Spanning three floors and covering a space of 56,000 square feet, Bridge+ offers a mix of purpose-driven workspace solutions that enhance the connectivity and productivity of businesses and their employees through a variety of private and controlled social spaces that observe safety measures and personal well-being.
For enterprises seeking to accommodate their employees' desire to be able to work anywhere, anytime, Bridge+ also supports the combination of home working arrangements, local office hubs and a city head office through a wide range of flexible workspace offerings.
Bridge+ has also set aside more than 16,000 square feet of space to support enterprises’ and their employees’ need to extend their virtual connections and discussions to in-person meetings and collaborations.
Enterprises and their employees can also look forward to hosting even more private meetings at an exclusive members-only business lounge at the office building lobby.
