Tencent Holdings has chosen a co-working space for its first office in Singapore, joining other Chinese technology giants in using the city state as a launching pad into the rest of Asia. The WeChat owner - which said last month it would open an office in Singapore - will have almost 200 seats at JustCo's co-working space in OCBC Centre East at Raffles Place. This was according to people familiar with the plans who asked not to be named because the matter is private. The space amounts to 10,000 sq ft. The lease runs for one year, giving China's largest social media and video gaming company flexibility to seek a larger space as it adds staff, the sources said. Representatives for Tencent and JustCo did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The deal paves the way for Tencent to make Singapore its beachhead for a push into South-east Asia. ByteDance, the owner of popular video app TikTok, is also expanding its office space in the city state, while Alibaba Group Holding earlier this year bought a 50 per cent stake in a Singapore office tower.

SINGAPORE (BLOOMBERG) - ByteDance, the Chinese owner of video app TikTok, is moving to a bigger office in Singapore's financial district, paving the way for it to make the city-state its beachhead for the rest of Asia. It has signed an agreement to lease three floors measuring over 60,000 square feet (5,574 square metres) at One Raffles Quay, according to people familiar with the plan. Bytedance's office expansion will help the world's most richly valued start-up to anchor itself in Singapore, where it plans to invest several billion dollars. The move will support Bytedance's hiring spree, as it plans to add hundreds of jobs over the next three years in the city-state, people familiar have said. Controlled by billionaire Zhang Yiming, the firm is pushing its social media service across Asia following setbacks in India, the UK and the US, where Chinese tech companies are facing growing hostility amid security concerns. The new office is being refurbished and it's likely that employees will move in by the first quarter of next year and will be informed about it later this month or in November, the people said. A representative for Bytedance declined to comment. The Chinese tech firm'...
