Mott MacDonald is acting as building services consultant on behalf of Mapletree Business City.
The redevelopment of the Comtech building will include the construction of a new 30-storey tower with three stepped podium blocks, providing approximately 125,000m2 of gross floor area. It forms the second and final phase of the Mapletree Business City (MBC) integrated business hub, which is designed to revitalise Singapore’s Alexandra precinct. Previous development there oncludes a business park and retail space, office and meeting facilities, restaurants and cafes and a gymnasium with heated pool.
CheeChuan Tan, Mott MacDonald’s project director, said: “MBC’s environmentally sustainable design has received many national and international awards. Once the redevelopment of the Comtech building is complete, the complex will be a Grade A business park space with high floor plate efficiency. The project also recently obtained Green Mark Platinum certification, Singapore’s highest sustainability award. This was achieved thanks to a predicted 30% energy saving through the use of efficient chiller plants and lighting.”
Construction of the project is due to be completed in the first half of 2016.
