Facility offers 1.2m sq ft factory space, with 23 tenants supporting sectors like robotics

- Annabelle Liang Correspondent

Industrial landlord JTC Corporation has completed the $570 million Bulim Square, which adds over 1.2 million sq ft in factory space to Singapore's advanced manufacturing ecosystem.

The facility of around 15 football fields in size has 23 tenants supporting sectors including semiconductors, aerospace, healthcare and robotics.

The development was announced by Acting Transport Minister and Senior Minister of State for Finance Jeffrey Siow on Oct 15.

Mr Siow, who spoke at the opening ceremony of the Industrial Transformation Asia-Pacific (Itap) 2025 event, said there is a need to create more spaces “where technology providers, research institutes, training providers and factories of the future can collaborate seamlessly across the innovation value chain”.

He added: “By co-locating research and development, prototyping, and production capabilities within one integrated environment, we can nurture innovation end to end, moving ideas more quickly from concept to market.”

The new facility is located in the 150ha Bulim precinct within the Jurong Innovation District (JID), a state-of-the-art campus where high-tech firms can collaborate.
