So you’ve working at a FinTech startup, and you’re ready to start knocking on the doors on all the banks in Singapore to get your first customers.
Now, if you’re searching for an office space to work out of, the CBD is your best bet. Firstly, being in the CBD puts you in close proximity to numerous banks, meaning you won’t have to travel far for your meetings.
On top of that, having a CBD address on your name card also gives you an extra layer of legitimacy, which is immensely important if you’re hoping to score some top dogs as your customers.
In this blog post, we share five CBD rental spaces that are perfect for FinTech startups. Read on to find out more!
#1: This unit at 80 Robinson Road
District: D01
Nearest MRT: Telok Ayer, Downtown
Size: 325 sq ft
Rent price: $5,000
PSF rent price: $15.38
This listing at 80 Robinson Road actually says that the management is looking for FinTech related business to take up their office spaces, so it’ll definitely be a good fit.

#2: This unit at The Octagon

Just further down the street from 80 Robinson Road is The Octagon, and at this building, you can actually rent a small-sized office for just $1,200 per month. For this price, you get a room that fits two people; because the lease term is flexible (starting from six months), this makes The Octagon a great option for new startups who can’t commit to a long-term contract.
#3: This unit at The Central
District: D01
Nearest MRT: Clarke Quay
Size: 635 sq ft
Rent price: $4,150
PSF rent price: $6.54
If you don’t want to be holed up in a small room, and you’re looking for a decently-sized office, consider this 635 sq ft SOHO unit at The Central.
The office space is outfitted with a pantry and cooking appliances (fridge, microwave, hood, etc), and tenants get access to gym and jacuzzi facilities as well. If you want to maintain some semblance of work-life balance, and keep up with your exercise routine whilst you’re working, then this unit will be right up your alley.
#4: This unit at Suntec City
District: D01
Nearest MRT: Esplanade, Promenade
Size: 110 sq ft

PSF rent price: $25.45
Looking for an office in the heart of town? Check out this serviced office at Suntec City, which is stylishly decked out in dark wood furniture and handsome leather sofas.
For $2,800, you’ll get an office space that accommodates three, and comes with a city view. There are plenty of additional perks as well, such as high-speed wifi with 99.99% uptime, free phone calls (local and international), and a telephone line where the receptionist will answer calls in your company’s name.
#5: This unit at Chevron House
District: D01
Nearest MRT: Raffles Place
Size: 50 sq ft
Rent price: $1,400
PSF rent price: $28
It doesn’t get more “CBD” than this — Chevron House is directly linked to Raffles Place MRT. Now, this listing is actually for a co-working space within Chevron House, but this place allows startups to rent private rooms, so it’s basically the same thing as getting a serviced office elsewhere.
$1,400 per month gets you a cozy room with a two workstation configuration, and there’s a pantry, lounge, meeting rooms and conference rooms that you may use.
