Mr Ronald Tay, CEO of CLD (Singapore), said: “Gourmet Xchange will set a new benchmark for how industrial developments can evolve. What makes the project unique is how it connects food businesses directly with communities. By introducing public and riverfront spaces with dining, events and lifestyle experiences alongside production facilities, we are creating new opportunities for brands to engage customers. This is one of the largest industrial projects that leverages CLD's placemaking strengths to build a truly vibrant ecosystem in Kallang."

Ms Christine Wong, Assistant CEO of JTC, adds: “Gourmet Xchange was thoughtfully planned, injecting vibrancy into our Kallang precinct by integrating food manufacturing with F&B and retail offerings. We are glad to have worked with CLD to realise a shared vision to preserve Singapore’s industrial heritage through adaptive reuse. We look forward to collaborating with more industry leaders to advance sustainable rejuvenation approaches that breathe new life into Singapore’s mature industrial estates."

The development sits on JTC’s first Industrial Government Land Sales (IGLS) site to pilot adaptive reuse, where an existing 1980s terrace factory block has been retained and adapted for food manufacturing and related activities to capture Singapore's industrial development history and support sustainable development.

The facility features high-capacity infrastructure including rare, large contiguous spaces ranging from 3,000 to 7,000 square feet (sq ft) – over twice the size of typical small industrial units.

Other key features include:

• Efficient floor access through the first three floors for 40-footer container trucks
• Wide 16-metre driveways for smooth vehicle movement up to ninth storey
• Generous ceiling heights of up to seven metres

Activating Industrial Spaces as Part of Kallang’s Urban Vibrancy

Gourmet Xchange is the first development to extend food factory functionality beyond traditional B2B operations, encompassing food kiosks, restaurants, and the possibility to convert selected production units to consumer-oriented showrooms (subject to necessary approvals). These public-facing functions enable brands to produce, distribute, and engage directly with customers from a single integrated hub, creating new revenue opportunities and strengthening brand presence alongside core production activities.

The Heritage Terrace, an adaptive reuse of Kallang’s former buildings, will be integrated into the wider development. This approach preserves the precinct’s place memory while supporting contemporary commercial and production uses.
