Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings has moved into a new space at a prime office tower in Singapore to bring together more employees in the city state.
Employees at the video gaming and social media conglomerate moved into CapitaSky, a 29-story tower in Singapore’s central business district this week from a WeWork office at 30 Raffles Place, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing private matters.

A Tencent representative confirmed the company has moved employees to the new location.

For now, Tencent is taking up one floor, or about half of a 56,000-square-foot (5,203-square-metre) flexible working space, in the tower. The Shenzhen-based firm may eventually move staff from another co-working centre at nearby CapitaSpring tower when the lease ends into the new space, the people said.
