Ascent consists of office headquarters, retail, restaurants, creche and pharmacy, set around courtyards, gardens and plazas. The building signifies the first phase of our masterplan to transform Singapore Science Park 1+2. Whereas the previous generation of science park companies were isolated and inward-looking, today’s companies interact regularly with their value-chain partners to form technology clusters. Ascent’s upper levels provide large, deep-plan space for offices and laboratories while its lower levels offer a constellation of ‘club’, exhibition, hosting and event spaces. Street-level interior and exterior spaces combine to create social settings that foster innovation by encouraging synergies between companies and activities.
