An Iconic Statement At The Entrance Lobby: A Beacon of New Beginnings: The Sprout by Chua Boon Kee

Step into the entrance lobby and be greeted by “Sprout,” a captivating sculpture by renowned artist Chua Boon Kee. This stainless steel masterpiece takes the organic form of a seedling bursting through its seedcoat.

More than just a beautiful piece of art, “Sprout” is an abstract interpretation of a germinated seed, symbolising new life and boundless energy. Created exclusively for Arc 380, its harmonious curves subtly echo the contours of the number 380, positioning Arc 380 itself as a thriving seed flourishing on the city’s fringe.

Office Units Designed for Flexibility and Choice

Arc 380’s office units offer unparalleled customisation options for modern workspaces.

The open floor plans feature largely column-free layouts, with easily removable partition walls, allowing maximum flexibility in designing an ideal workspace. Each floor plate spans up to 24 meters at its widest, providing generous space for large teams or the option to subdivide for multi-tenancy. High-performance, double-glazed curtain walls, reaching 4.9 meters in height, flood the spaces with natural light and offer breathtaking views of the cityscape and Kallang Basin.

Each unit also includes private amenities, such as a bathroom, WC, and shower, for added convenience.

Units range from 700 square feet to an entire floor plate of approximately 9,800 square feet, ensuring a scalable space that can meet any business’s needs.
