Dear colleagues,
Today, we are delighted to announce our plans to move to our very own UBS building – a new state-of-the-art office complex - where we can bring majority of our staff together in a single campus location in the heart of the city. Staff will enjoy a future-ready workplace with the latest modern facilities that promote well-being, while clients will benefit from enhanced access to UBS's integrated bank and global expertise under one roof. The move will take place in the second half of 2020.
The new UBS-branded building will be located in a 381,000 square feet property at 9 Penang Road in the heart of the city and close to the main transit lines. Set in the Orchard shopping belt, the offices are close to expansive gardens and with easy access to the lush greenery of Fort Canning Park and Singapore's heritage and civic districts.
Singapore is a strategic priority of UBS and we have grown over the last 50 years to be a leading foreign financial institution in Singapore. Today, UBS has close to 4,000 full-time and contracted people working in Singapore across all of its businesses. This move will allow us to house our colleagues currently working at One Raffles Quay and Suntec City together under one roof allowing for enhanced collaboration and efficiency. Hansa Point @ Changi will continue to remain as the Corporate Center services hub and our primary BCP site.
The new premises will also be home to our UBS University Asia Pacific where we will continue to lead the training and development programs for colleagues across the region.
The future-ready workplace, with the latest connectivity and health and well-being facilities, will offer an ideal environment in which to enhance the way we work and collaborate. The new building's energy-efficient and future-proof construction will help UBS operate in line with the highest environmental standards. As sole tenant, UBS Singapore will have full control of building security, which will feature a single-entry system including facial recognition technology.
Employee engagement will be a priority and we will be contacting you soon with updates and how you can be involved in the creation of our new home in Singapore.
We will provide more information about this exciting move at regular intervals and we look forward to your positive engagement.
Best regards,
August and the Singapore Management Committee
