GERMANY'S Daimler group, which owns the Mercedes-Benz brand, is moving from glitzy Centennial Tower in Marina Centre to Westgate Tower next to Jurong East MRT Station.

The move underscores the importance of saving in occupation cost for corporates, say market watchers. Daimler is expected to pay about S$6 psf in monthly rent at Westgate Tower, which would be about 30 per cent lower than what it could have expected to pay had it renewed its lease at Centennial Tower, which is said to expire in the first quarter of next year.
