SingLand builds on sustainability efforts, sees ESG credentials as prerequisite to attracting tenants 

JONATHAN Eu, the chief executive officer of property developer Singapore Land (SingLand), believes that green buildings will increasingly be seen as a “prerequisite” for tenants seeking office space. 

Having a sustainable workplace, he says, will become a major criterion for companies looking to attract and retain talent. And he has the numbers to back this up.

At the Singapore Land Tower office building at Raffles Place, for example, asking rents per square foot were “firmly” in the single digits before its S$160 million asset enhancement initiative began.
