Naming

Fuji Xerox Towers was formerly called IBM Towers, as IBM Singapore had been the anchor tenant since the building's opening until 2004. In mid-August 2004, Fuji Xerox leased convert|93000|sqft|m2|abbr=on of office space, spread over 7 levels. It made Fuji Xerox the main anchor tenant with about a quarter of leasable space, thereby earning it naming rights.citeweb | title = Fuji Xerox Towers, Singapore | publisher = Emporis | url = http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=fujixeroxtowers-singapore-singapore | accessdate = 2008-02-11 ] While Fuji Xerox moved into the towers, IBM moved in stages to Changi Business Park over recent years.citeweb | title = Fuji Xerox Tower Building is a place in Singapore on the Map of Singapore | publisher = SGPageNation | url = http://sg.pagenation.com/sin/Fuji%20Xerox%20Building_103.8438_1.2729.map | accessdate = 2008-02-11 ]
