Singapore Office Space
Singapore is a sovereign city-state, on a small island off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula.
The country is one of the world’s major commercial hubs, and is ranked the fourth biggest financial centre in the world.
The economy is largely dominated by the manufacturing, finance, and electronics industries, and is home to one of the top five busiest ports in the world.
The location
Singapore is made up of 63 islands — the main island is known as Singapore Island or Pulau Ujong.
The CBD, also called the Central Area, is just south of the Singapore River, and contains the main commercial and financial districts, as well as a number of urban planning developments.
