📍Did you know #StandardChartered, #Keyence, #Porsche, #TOTO, #LINE, #Shopee, #Bosch share the same landlord in Hanoi? Guess which one... If you said Capital Place, you'd be right. Here' re what the top management talk about their perspectives on this office building (it behooves us to listen): In the words of Michele Wee - CEO, Standard Chartered: “Big building, right in the heart of the city, brand-new Grade A complex. So that in itself is very attractive. It also has a leadership in environment and energy LEED Certification. That's in line with Standard Chartered's objectives to be a Net-Zero company by 2030...We do feel that in this environment, it has been an opportunity to offer everything new". Keyence: "For Keyence, Capital Place was the only real option for our relocation. We were thrilled by the savings successfully negotiated and achieved by the Savills team through careful research and thought structuring of the deal. Capital Place really is the perfect choice for our office". For this summer, don't miss out the Gelato treat exclusively for Capital Place tenants!

Over 50% of the world's population currently live in urban environments. By the year 2050, that's expected to rise to 70%! Biophilia is the hypothetical human tendency to interact or be closely associated with other forms of life in nature. Integrating greenery into cities, such as parks, green roofs, and urban forests, enhances mental well-being, reduces stress, and improves mood. Biophilic design also boosts productivity and creativity, particularly in workplaces, and fosters a sense of community and belonging. I love that Singapore is THE beacon in the space and a place that I'm proud to have called home for nearly 15 years. Without a doubt, Singapore inspired me as a designer.... Jewel Changi Airport, Gardens by the bay, many of the world's largest living Green Walls are right here in sunny Singapore. What do you think? What other buildings or developments here in Singapore have left an impression with you? Lemme know! #urbangreenery #urbanfarming #urbangarden Video - WATG and Wimberly Interiors.

I've always been fascinated by 𝐬𝐤𝐲𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬, and when I recently visited Malaysia, I was in awe of how these massive structures seemed to touch the sky, standing tall and sleek against the backdrop of bustling Kuala Lumpur city. My love for these man-made beauties inspired me to dive deeper into learning about them to answer various questions. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 ?   The boom started in the 𝟏𝟗𝟖𝟎𝐬 and these big infrastructure projects were meant to drive rapid economic growth and outshine the west. Kuala Lumpur's rapid population growth, especially among the 𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧 community, led to a surge in property demand. Real estate became a popular investment eventually driving the construction of skyscrapers. 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 The publicity surrounding the towers can be seen as a key factor in lifting the city out of geographic obscurity and establishing Malaysia as a country with a promising future and a "definite place to visit for world travelers". In 2023, the tourism sector directly contributed more than 𝟖𝟏 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐭 to the country's GDP. ♦️ Petronas Twin Tower It has attracted demand for commercial space especially 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐀 office buildings, for both local and foreign MNC's in the oil and gas industry as well as the financial industry. Serves as a 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤, fostering a sense of pride among the Malaysians. ♦️ Merdeka 118 Tower Malaysia's current tallest building has set highest sustainability standards internationally, reinforcing its iconic status.

Hanoi - H1.2024 market performance Hanoi's office sector is experiencing significant levels of demand driven by Consulting, Healthcare/ Pharmaceutical, and Tech sectors. Majority of deals are signed or being inked at high quality buildings. Grade A had the largest take-up of 6,955sqm in Q2/2024 while the take-up of Grade B fell by 1,694sqm. "Flight to quality" remains to be the key trend not only in #HCMC but also in #Hanoi. In 2024, notable projects like Taisei Square Hanoi, Capital Place, Lotte Center, BRG Diamond Park Plaza, 36 Cat Linh (Grand Terra) are green buildings and remain the talks of the town. However, from 2025, it is likely to increase competition in the CBD, the West, Tay Ho Tay New Urban Area (NUA) since all future developments in Tay Ho Tay NUA will be Grade A.

🌟 Embracing Failure: A Path to Growth 🌟 As a Communication Director, Meditation Practitioner, and Etiquette Master, I've come to cherish the lessons learned from both successes and failures. Today, I'm excited to share an important perspective—a celebration of the journey, even when it doesn't lead to immediate triumph. Recently, we submitted Oakwood Residence Sukhumvit Thonglor Bangkok for a prestigious award. Since the beginning, I acknowledged the challenges ahead. However, we saw this as an opportunity to showcase our commitment to innovation and adaptability. This project marked a significant milestone for Oakwood, challenging us to redefine our design standards while honoring the unique preferences of the Asian market. While we may not have clinched the award, the experience was invaluable. It taught us resilience, creativity, and the importance of perseverance. As a Communication Director, I learned the following key points: Adaptability: Failure teaches us to adapt our strategies and messaging in response to changing circumstances. It's about finding new ways to communicate our brand's values and offerings effectively. Transparency: Acknowledging failure openly fosters trust and authenticity. Strategic Thinking: Failure prompts us to reassess our communication strategies and identify areas for refinement. It's an opportunity to innovate and explore new ways. "The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one." Buddha. So, what's the true value of failure? It's the opportunity to reflect, recalibrate, and emerge stronger than before. It's about embracing vulnerability and cultivating a growth mindset, even when success feels out of reach. #LearningFromFailure #GrowthMindset #Innovation #HospitalityDesign #OakwoodExperience #frameaward
