Bridge+ at 79 Robinson Road, offers “purpose-driven” workspace solutions for enhanced “connectivity and productivity” of businesses as well as the employees. It also has event spaces that can host activities for 30 to 200 people, 25 meeting rooms, social areas, and a lounge, Chew said. Chew also noted that it has an infrastructure in the event spaces on Level 2 for organisers holding hybrid events, such as technology solutions and equipment to engage both in-person and remote attendees. The workspace gives “greater attention” to support the “safety and wellbeing” of its occupiers as they return to the office, by placing safety measures, such as coating high contact areas with anti-microbial disinfectant and providing “contactless access and reduce unnecessary touchpoints” through facial recognition and mobile app-activated access to building access points. Moreover, the workspace also offers office tenants a sea view of the Marina South Pier, low-lying conservation shophouses in the CBD, and customising their workplace. There is also a sky terrace on Level 21 as well as a roof garden at the top of the building which aims to provide green spaces to the tenants.
