Future plans

On 23 February 2022, Singtel announced an over S$2 billion plan to redevelop Comcentre from 2024 into a 110,000 sq m building equipped with the latest digital technologies and sustainable features, as well as being well integrated into the surroundings with an underground connection to Somerset MRT station. The new Comcentre will be developed in a joint venture with another developer that will be selected in May, although two were shortlisted earlier. Singtel will divest its stake to the joint venture company with a majority stake, although it will take up 30 per cent of the space as the anchor tenant. The new Comcentre will also be equipped with hybrid working spaces for other tenants. It will be completed by 2028, with Singtel working in other offices in the meantime.[3][4][5]
