KUALA LUMPUR: Frankfurt-listed Siemens Healthineers AG is establishing its Malaysia headquarters in The MET Corporate Towers, the first Grade-A strata office in Kuala Lumpur's KL Metropolis.
It has formed a strategic alliance with the 42-storey tower's developer, Triterra Metropolis Sdn Bhd.
Siemens Healthineers will occupy a complete floor plate of roughly 18,500 square feet on the building's 34th floor under a nine-year lease.
Triterra's group chief executive officer, Christopher Lim, said that the company is excited to embark on this strategic lease deal with Siemens Healthineers, a global leader in medical technology.
"This partnership signifies a shared vision to create a dynamic environment. At Triterra, we are committed to building in-depth relationships that inspire greatness, fuel innovation, and drive transformative change," he said.
KL Metropolis is a mixed-use development spread across 75.5 acres of prime land with a total gross development value (GDV) of RM20 billion that includes regional retail centres, luxury apartments, offices, and hotel components.
The Met launched in 2017 with a GDV of RM750 million. It consists of the 42-storey tower with 356 office spaces and a 30-story tower with 132 offices.
Siemens Healthineers' new Malaysian headquarters will include a cutting-edge customer experience centre and a modern training space for healthcare professionals, as well as a comprehensive product and service range, including AI-supported apps and digital products.
The employee working area will be redesigned per Siemens Healthineers' Way of Working concept, which aims to identify the optimal approach to working while promoting flexibility, work-life integration, and meeting the needs of the business.
The concept makes use of digital experiences to improve productivity and collaboration through onsite and remote options.
"Through our partnership with Triterra, we hope that the new premise will set the highest design and sustainability standards in the region, serving as a model for other Siemens Healthineers offices," said Rod Frazer, managing director of Siemens Healthineers Malaysia.
