New Sengkang West industrial site to come online under the Industrial Government Land Sales (IGLS) Programme is yet another major step to create a continuous supply of sustainable industrial land for businesses in Singapore. The site was offered for public tender by JTC through the first half 2025 IGLS Programme initiated by JTC to underpin the future industrial expansion that will address the changing demand of Singapore’s manufacturing, logistics and industrial sectors.
Positioned at Sengkang West Way, the plot covers approximately 2.32 hectares and is zoned for Business 2 (B2) industrial use with a gross plot ratio of 2.5. Consistent with changes in Singapore’s industrial land lease framework, the site attracted a 33-year leasehold on offer and offered developers and industry assurance, for long term investments and operational facilities.
The Sengkang West site was the last Confirmed List site released pursuant to the first half of 2025 IGLS Programme. Its roll out demonstrates the Government’s determination to have an appropriate and timely industrial pipeline alongside investment in new industrial facilities capable of sustaining advanced manufacturing, logistics, engineering, technology and other higher value industrial activities.
Aside from broadening the availability of industrial land, the operation of the Sengkang West site is in line with Singapore’s wider strategy of decentralising employment opportunities by creating business nodes outside traditional industrial estates. Establishment of commercial complexes in the north-eastern area enables ventures to operate closer to residential complexes and provides the potential for more efficient staff presence, less commuting time and the greater resilience in the industrial sector in Singapore.
The presence of the site also reflects confidence in the sustainability of the development of the Sengkang West district. With a growing presence and transport infrastructure, residential developments and supportive amenities for residents being introduced, Sengkang could soon be ready to become an industrial hub; an area that benefits companies to do business in any way necessary.
Soilbuild will be ready to take advantage of the location in light of the successful tender of the site; the site will be transformed into a smart new B2 industrial project like Sengkang Connection soon, which will possess efficient ramping-up facilities, modern building specifications and adaptable industrial spaces catering to the day-to-day running of business operations. Using Soilbuild’s extensive experience in industrial real estate, Sengkang Connection will be able to grow into part of the next generation of high-quality industrial projects in Singapore whilst further supporting its overall long-term economic and industrial development plans.
