Changi Business Park


Those with CBD offices know the drill: MRT rides where you’re packed in like sardines and never-ending F&B queues – we’re already exhausted after lining up for our morning kopi o. But with its range of amenities and indisputable convenience, we still want to work in a business hub, sans the bustling crowd. 

And that’s why Changi Business Park is a solid choice. This mini CBD of the East has futuristic offices and family-friendly features but without the overwhelming number of people. From container gyms to $5 beers, here’s what to check out in Changi Business Park:
