CapitaLand rolls out tech solutions and measures in business parks and offices

Alternative workplaces will be Bridge+, The Workshop, The Work Project, and CoSpace Park.

CapitaLand is working in collaboration with its ecosystem partners to safeguard the workspace community at its business parks and offices against COVID-19, a press release said. The firm will launch digital platforms including CapitaStar@Work and Capita3Eats, along with contactless technologies.

These initiatives claim to offer its business park and office tenants attractive rates for the bulk purchase of work area sanitisation services, thermal scanners and workplace sensors. Tenants may utilise the new features on CapitaStar@Work app for staff and visitor contact tracing within their premises and also allows companies to conduct pre-check-in of staff for up to five days in advance. Tenants will also be able to track the number of employees expected to turn up at the office, effectively gauging staff load. CapitaStar@Work will enable businesses to conduct health and wellness surveys customised for their staff.

The group is also onboarding over 60 tenants from its business parks and office properties to the group’s new food ordering platform, Capita3Eats.

To provide flexible solutions for companies under split team arrangements, CapitaLand has converted Capital Tower’s Level 9 event space into a temporary workspace to lease on a short-term basis. Such organisations may rent these flex spaces at competitive prices with no minimum contract. Companies can also choose from CapitaLand’s existing suite of flexible workplace solutions provided by Bridge+ and The Workshop, or through its partners CoSpace Park and The Work Project located in the CBD, fringe CBD and the western region of Singapore.

The firm is also trialling various disinfection technology and systems in selected CapitaLand properties. An automated UV handrail disinfection device is being tested at Capital Tower and Galaxis, whilst an air decontamination system is being piloted in lift cars to eliminate air-borne and surface microorganisms. Air handling units at selected properties are also fitted with UV lamp systems to eliminate microorganisms and purify the air entering the office premises.

Further, properties such as 79 Robinson Road, Ascent, Capital Tower, Funan’s office blocks, Galaxis and One@Changi have deployed facial recognition or QR activated turnstiles to facilitate seamless and secure access. Protective acrylic screens have been installed at a concierge and tenant service centre to safeguard visitors and staff during face-to-face interactions. Manual water taps at some property common areas have also been replaced with sensor operated taps.
