It’s an exciting week for Shopee, with their brand new regional headquarters just unveiled on Tuesday and their biggest shopping event of the year starting at midnight today. According to App Annie, the e-commerce platform is currently the number one shopping app in Southeast Asia by average monthly active users, ‘Total Time in App’, and total downloads in the second quarter of 2019.
We got to check out the new office and catch up on all the deals you can get during Shopee’s biggest-ever 9.9 Super Shopping Day, which reaches its peak tomorrow. Read on to find out more!
Shopee’s new home
Located at Kent Ridge, the Shopee Building spans 244,000 square feet and stands at six storeys tall.

This new office aims to accommodate Shopee’s rapid growth as well as to foster greater connectivity, collaboration, and community. In addition to the open-concept offices and regular meeting rooms, there are tons of open discussion spaces and common areas all across the different floors. They are also providing new computers and equipment to all employees. The old tech equipment was taken by an electronics recycling company.

Shopee has carefully designed their new home with not only employee welfare and productivity in mind, but also environmental sustainability. Using non-toxic paint, energy-saving technology, and eco-friendly schemes, the building has been recognised by the Building & Construction Authority as an energy-efficient and sustainable building with the Green Mark Platinum Award.
They also provide a wide range of internal programmes for employees, including regional training and development, interest clubs, volunteering, and wellness programmes like K-pop fitness and yoga. With these benefits and amenities, Shopee hopes to nurture tech talent, develop the entrepreneurial ecosystem, and create job opportunities in Singapore. Look at their openings here!
