Deloitte Singapore Moves Main Office to Orchard Road
Deloitte Singapore will relocate its primary office to Orchard Road by 2027. This move reflects the shopping district's growing appeal for corporate tenants, despite market watchers calling it an isolated event.
Deloitte Relocates to Orchard Central
Deloitte Singapore will move its main office to Orchard Road. The consultancy currently operates from OUE Downtown on Shenton Way. It will relocate to Orchard Central, a 12-storey building, from 2027. Deloitte will occupy several upper floors there. Its current lease at OUE Downtown expires at the end of 2026. Some Deloitte staff will move earlier to JustCo Place, also on Orchard Road.
Orchard Road's Corporate Appeal Grows
Orchard Road is increasingly attracting corporate tenants. This district is better known for its retail boutiques. However, it is gaining an identity as a business address. This shift occurs amid firm office demand across Singapore. Rental rates in the traditional central business district (CBD) also remain strong. This suggests a broadening of desirable corporate locations.
Market View: Isolated Moves
Market watchers consider these relocations isolated instances. They do not view them as a structural migration of businesses. The traditional CBD still maintains its appeal for most corporate occupiers. This perspective suggests that while Orchard Road shows a new facet, it may not fundamentally alter Singapore's office landscape.
For real estate investors, this demonstrates diversifying corporate demand. Orchard Road assets could see revaluation as business addresses. Developers may consider more mixed-use projects in such areas. This trend challenges the singular dominance of traditional CBD office districts. It signals potential for decentralised commercial hubs in Singapore.
