Surbana Jurong unveils new global HQ in Singapore's Jurong Innovation District

Surbana Jurong (SJ), one of the largest Asia-based urban and infrastructure consulting firms, last Friday (18 January) unveiled its new campus and global headquarters in Singapore.

Named ‘Surbana Jurong Campus’, the 68,915 square meter development will be built in Jurong Innovation District (JID) and can accommodate up to 4,000 employees.

Designed by Safdie Surbana Jurong, a collaboration between Safdie Architects and Surbana Jurong established in 2017, it demonstrates what a sustainable, people-centric and future-ready workplace would look like. SJ’s multi-disciplinary team of experts will undertake the entire development from start to end.

Wong Heang Fine, Group Chief Executive Officer of Surbana Jurong, said: “The building of our global headquarters represents SJ’s growth ambition, and signals our continued confidence in Singapore as a strategic urban and infrastructure hub. With its myriad of new-generation working spaces, our new Campus is envisaged to be a conducive and lively environment for meaningful collaboration and to nurture innovation as we explore new ways to address urban challenges and reinvent cities. We also hope that a world-class workspace will further attract and retain global talents.”

To fund the development of the Campus, SJ adopted a ‘develop and lease’ model. The Campus is being developed by Surbana Jurong Capital, the investment arm of SJ, which secured 100% funding for the development of the property and subsequent lease agreement for the entire land lease tenure from M&G Real Estate. This arrangement provided SJ with a compelling, long-term and cost-effective solution in developing the property for its use.

The Campus is a result of strong collaboration and on-going support from the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB).
