Leasing has begun for One Comcentre, the redevelopment of Singtel's former headquarters in Somerset, ahead of its targeted completion by end-2028.
One Comcentre is Orchard’s first mixed-use development in 20 years, introducing more than 1 million square feet of Grade A offices, retail, dining, wellness and community spaces, transforming a site that has served as Singtel's headquarters for more than four decades.
With fully sheltered access to Somerset MRT station, it will offer panoramic views of the city and Marina Bay. Six levels of amenities include a 400-seat auditorium, medical suites, gyms and a private members' club, alongside extensive dining and wellness offerings. Together with a one-hectare elevated park, the largest in Central Singapore, these features are designed to support productivity, collaboration and wellbeing.
The launch comes as Singapore's Grade A office market faces its tightest supply conditions in nearly two decades, with few major developments entering the market. This presents a rare opportunity for businesses seeking a flagship workplace in Orchard Road, which aims to be Singapore's next commercial precinct.
One Comcentre has been designed with the flexibility to evolve as technologies advance and tenant needs change. As co-developer and anchor tenant, Singtel will integrate its connectivity and AI capabilities into the development from the ground up, creating Singapore’s first AI-native building.
At its core is intelligent infrastructure powered by Singtel’s advanced 5G+ connectivity. This enables network slicing which acts as a dedicated digital expressway, ensuring high-speed, low-latency and secure communications between building systems, applications and devices. These capabilities provide a future-ready foundation for a growing range of AI applications across building and tenant operations, from intelligent building systems to physical AI such as robotics.
"When Comcentre first opened in 1979, it was aptly described as a beacon to the future. As we redevelop the site, we are creating a new beacon for future generations, setting the benchmark for how technology, sustainability and human-centred design come together to help people and businesses thrive for decades to come.
"With Singtel as co-developer and anchor tenant, we will ensure that the infrastructure and technology stay ahead of the curve. This uniquely positions One Comcentre to give tenants first access to the latest capabilities without having to build the infrastructure themselves," said Gan Siok Hoon, Singtel’s Group Chief Corporate Officer
Tenants will also be able to tap a differentiated suite of Singtel services tailored to their business needs, including security-as-a-service to help protect employees’ devices from cyber threats and robotics-as-a-service to support workplace tasks.
To bring the vision to life, Singtel is drawing on Lendlease’s urban regeneration and placemaking expertise and decades of experience delivering mixed-use developments to transform the site into a destination beyond a workplace.
Debra Ma, Director, Development, Singapore, Lendlease, said, "One Comcentre represents an important milestone in the ongoing evolution of Orchard Road and its next chapter as a leading lifestyle destination. It is a reflection of Lendlease’s capabilities in delivering places that are vibrant, connected and future-ready. Together with Singtel, we are proud to create a landmark that advances placemaking, sustainability and innovation, while setting a new benchmark for sustainable urban development in Asia."
One Comcentre is Singapore's first end-to-end carbon-neutral Grade A commercial property, with sustainability embedded throughout its design, construction and operations. It has been provisionally certified Green Mark Platinum Zero Energy by the Building and Construction Authority under the Green Mark v7 pilot, making it Singapore’s only newly-built large-scale Grade A commercial development to attain the standard to date.
Through advanced building systems, intelligent technologies and a focus on resource efficiency, the development is designed to deliver measurable benefits for tenants, including lower energy consumption, greater operational resilience and healthier workplaces. It has also achieved WELL Platinum precertification from the International WELL Building Institute, recognising its commitment to employee wellbeing, comfort and performance.
When completed, One Comcentre will comprise twin 20-storey office towers with large, efficient floorplates of approximately 25,000 to 27,000 sq ft. As the anchor tenant, Singtel will occupy 30% of the total space including its retail flagship store, with approximately 70% of the development available to other tenants.
Designed for businesses seeking to attract talent, support new ways of working and advance their sustainability ambitions, One Comcentre integrates workplace innovation, technology and sustainability in a single destination.
Moray Armstrong, MD, Singapore, CBRE said: “Demand for quality Grade A office space in Singapore remains resilient, particularly for developments that combine location, connectivity and modern workplace capabilities. Even before formally commencing leasing, One Comcentre has attracted strong interest from a broad range of prospective tenants, reflecting pent-up demand for premium, future-ready workplace solutions.
"Increasingly, we are seeing tenants expand their search beyond the traditional CBD as they look for workplaces that help attract talent, strengthen culture and support long-term growth. Opportunities that bring these attributes together at scale are rare, particularly within Orchard Road. This is what makes One Comcentre distinctive.”
CBD refers to the central business district.
