Nestled in the Alexandra Road precinct, Alexandra Point unveils its latest chapter by seamlessly marrying its storied past with a contemporary flair to redefine the workspace of tomorrow.
This transformation, following the recent completion of a major asset enhancement initiative, reimagines how we interact with our work environment, to pay homage to tradition while eagerly anticipating and catering to the needs of the future. Formerly the site of the old Malayan Breweries and the cradle of Frasers Property’s journey in property development, Alexandra Point now stands as a beacon of growth and resilience.

A Nod to the Past with Eyes on the Future
The transformation of Alexandra Point is a story of heritage meeting innovation. The relocation of the iconic Fraser & Neave (F&N) emblem from F&N’s Anson Road factory, crafted in the 1930s by Italian sculptor Rodolfo Nolli, to Alexandra Point is a statement of Frasers Property’s journey from humble beginnings to a leading international real estate player today. Frasers Property has its roots as a Singapore-focused business, with a valuable heritage from being part of F&N since 1883. This emblem, a testament to our shared legacy with F&N, reminds us of our adaptability and growth through time.

This emblem is regarded as a bridge between our storied past and a dynamic future. The F&N crest residing at Alexandra Point, our headquarters over the last 30 years, is not merely a relic of the past; it is a vivid reminder of our enduring heritage and our journey through various phases of growth and innovation. It stands as a testament to our ability to adapt to changing times while maintaining a strong connection to our roots.
Sustainability at the Core
In the spirit of green living, Alexandra Point is recognised with a BCA Green Mark Platinum certification, reflecting its deep commitment to sustainability and eco-conscious design. The 32-year-old building basks in the glow of natural light, thanks to its double-glazed low-emissivity glass panels that keep the tropical heat at bay, while ensuring the interiors remain bright and conducive. Energy efficient lifts also ensure a seamless, eco-friendly journey from floor to floor.
The 76 solar photovoltaic panels were installed atop Alexandra Point’s annex block, a new addition post-asset enhancement.
Furthermore, Alexandra Point is a shining example of how modern spaces can thrive on renewable energy. The rooftop is decked out in 76 solar photovoltaic panels, expected to churn out around 44,000 kWh of clean energy every year. For those who drive, there are two electric vehicle (EV) charging bays in the carpark, ready to power up your green ride.
Adding to this vision of a sustainable work-life ecosystem, Alexandra Point’s proximity to HortPark enriches the workspace with the tranquillity of nature. Cyclists, joggers, and nature lovers can take advantage of the paths leading to HortPark1, the Alexandra Garden Trail, and the 10-kilometre expanse of the Southern Ridges green trail. This thoughtful integration of Alexandra Point with its rich surroundings not only elevates the beauty and atmosphere of the area but also champions the health and productivity of its community.
The fusion of considerate amenities and a strong bond with the natural environment establishes Alexandra Point as more than just a workplace, making it a place where embracing a sustainable lifestyle becomes an everyday reality.
Elevating the Tenant Experience
The makeover at Alexandra Point goes beyond just aesthetics, with a deep dive into what makes a day at work feel less like work and more like part of a well-rounded lifestyle. At the heart of this transformation to elevate the tenant experience is MyICEPortal, an advanced building management system. Furthermore, a redesigned drop-off point enhances the arrival experience, ensuring every guest feels welcomed from the moment they enter. Complemented by the addition of a new lobby café and a dedicated nursing room, Alexandra Point demonstrates a broader commitment to comfort, inclusivity, and convenience at every turn.
This forward-thinking approach also shines in digital connectivity, with Alexandra Point being the first property to attain SmartScore Platinum under Existing building category in Singapore in 2024. This is on top its WiredScore Platinum rating achieved in 2023. This ensures everyone stays seamlessly plugged into the digital world, a non-negotiable need in today’s fast-paced business environment.
To top it all off, the development features a suite of comprehensive amenities, including end-of-trip facilities such as bicycle racks, showers, changing rooms, and lockers, promoting a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle for tenants. These thoughtful features ensure that every aspect of the tenant’s day is considered, making Alexandra Point a place to work and thrive.
