Upholding our RISE values of Respect, Integrity, Service and Excellence, we strive for lasting trust and confidence with our clients. This year marks our 36th anniversary, a significant milestone reflecting our organizational modernization. We've relocated to One City Centre, occupying the 46th and 45th floors. This location not only features high ceilings and panoramic views of the beautiful skyline but also prioritizes innovative enhancements for quality of life and work efficiency. Our office also prioritizes both environmental sustainability and staff wellness. By choosing a LEED Gold-certified and Fitwel 2-star building, and by implementing numerous sustainability and wellness-oriented strategies within our space, our headquarters has achieved LEED Gold Certification under Interior Design and Construction: Commercial Interiors. We are also targeting a WELL certification at the Platinum level. CBRE Thailand also remains committed to achieving Net Zero by 2040, a standard upheld by CBRE globally," said Roongrat Veeraparkkaroon, Managing Director of CBRE Thailand.
As demand for sustainable and smart buildings continues to rise, CBRE Thailand is determined to be at the forefront of this crucial transformation, helping clients create environmentally friendly and technologically advanced workspaces. The company recognizes the importance of integrating sustainable practices into the workplace to reduce environmental impact and enhance the well-being of employees. "Our office now has four times more collaboration space and a workspace that can support a 25% increase in on-site staff with efficient space planning. As the office market continues to evolve, we are dedicated to staying ahead of workplace trends and providing companies with tailor-made innovative solutions," added Charnwit Pasuwat, Head of Workplace Strategy and Design Development of CBRE Thailand
CBRE Thailand's new office at One City Centre is thoughtfully designed to promote employee productivity, well-being and flexibility with sustainable features. The space embodies the firm's commitment to exemplifying efficient space utilization, catering to the adaptive work environment of the post-pandemic landscape.
"In this era of workplace transformation, the two elements that play pivotal roles for future business success are, firstly, conducting a workplace strategy analysis. Eighty percent of our Global Occupancy survey respondents indicate using space utilization for portfolio strategy planning. Secondly, the procedure needs to be carried out by workplace specialists who understand the unique requirements and pain points of each company, whether multinational companies or local businesses," stated Charnwit.
According to a CBRE survey, 62% of office tenants have shown interest in reducing their portfolios, with hybrid working and operating costs cited as the key drivers. With this growing trend, workplace strategies can be designed to align with a company's goals, facilitating informed decisions about office relocations and/or lease renewals. New office designs can support over 30% more space sharing and increase collaboration space by 44%, tailored to the company's objectives.
