Edit Request: Asset Enhancement Initiative

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hi, can I request that information about 'Republc Plaza's recent $70 Million Asset Enhancement Initiative' be added to the article?

Add: From 2018 to 2019, City Developments Limited executed Republic Plaza's $70 Million Asset Enhancement Initiative. The AEI included expansion of retail podium, renovation of amenities like main lobbies and development of CityNexus app for its office tenants.

It would be great if someone could create a section and add the above information. If the information is worded in a promotional language, please help me rephrase it.

Here are the references:

I am not sure if the references are considered appropriate. Please guide me on this if they are not.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not the place to promote new initiatives. This would be better placed on the building operator's website. Regards, Spintendo 04:55, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I would like to request the following edits:

1. Can the 2nd paragraph (The main entrance to the tower...wrapped around by lettable office space.) be at the "Architecture" section?

2. Can we state that the building has both office and retail spaces in the section above the contents box^[1]?

Thank you.
