Keppel Land is committed to creating a holistic, quality
and creatively stimulating living environment in every
community where it stamps the Keppel hallmark.
Be they homes or offices, Keppel Land's developments
are thoughtfully planned and designed, integrating form
and function for an optimal environment.
Quality Work Spaces
Keppel Land's stable of prime office buildings continues
to set standards in the Central Business District.
The Group's commercial developments are
distinguished by efficient intelligent features geared
towards housing the world's leading corporations while
incorporating environmentally-friendly initiatives which
include the creation of green havens amidst the concrete
cityscape.
One Raffles Quay, a 1.3 milllion sf office development,
is poised to be the landmark in Singapore's New
Downtown. Apart from state-of-the-art elements,
it also features generous use of landscaping and lush
open surrounds. In the heart of the development,
a landscaped pedestrian plaza will serve as a sheltered
public space.

Energy efficiency features at One Raffles Quay include
double-glazed glass that helps reduce sunlight from
entering the building, energy-saving light bulbs and an
intelligent passenger lift system that pools passengers
by similar floor destinations to reduce waiting and
travelling time.
Comprehensive water and energy conservation
programmes have also been introduced at
Keppel Land’s buildings. Recent participation by
Ocean Building and Ocean Towers in the national water
conservation programme resulted in an estimated 5%
reduction in monthly water consumption. This was
achieved through the reduced flow rate and flushing
volume from the inclusion of thimbles from the Public
Utilities Board.
Prudential Tower’s landscape park provides a refreshing
green haven that can be enjoyed amidst quaint shelters
in bustling Central Business District. It combines hard
landscaping featuring polished granite planter boxes
and flamed finished granite for all the walkways, and
soft landscaping of wide canopy trees and palm trees.
Prudential Tower won the prestigious FIABCI Prix
d’Excellence, the real estate Oscars under the
office/industrial category.
Keppel Bay Tower, an office development located in
Singapore's harbourfront precinct, is flanked on all
sides by water, almost literally. Apart from the sea
frontage, its surrounds are dotted with water features
such as reflection pools and spouting fountains which
add to aesthetics and provide welcomed relief.
In Keppel Land's own offices, recycling, reusing and
reducing wastage have become second nature to staff.
Efforts to cut down unnecessary waste include the
disposal of scrap paper, old newspapers and magazines
at designated recycling bins.
