Jardine Matheson to exit Swire’s Taikoo Place, consolidate offices in Central: sources

Jardine Matheson is giving up its remaining office space in FWD Tower at Taikoo Place and plans to relocate staff back to Jardine House in Central as part of operational consolidation, sources said.The move reflects a wider trend of companies consolidating into the core district, where demand for premium office space has been strengthening.The group’s primary office at Jardine House, part of its own property portfolio, “is now undergoing renovations to create a modern workspace that will accommodate all head office employees from May”, allowing it to operate “more collaboratively and dynamically”, according to sources familiar with the matter.
