Smart Food Mandai Sets Benchmark Freehold Food Factories
In Singapore, the food distribution landscape for F&B operators is evolving and becoming increasingly reliant on high-specification food factories. These factories are designed to be future-ready, equipped with built-in capabilities that give business owners an edge over their competition by adopting Industry 4.0 standards.
Recognizing the demand for such facilities, established property developer Smartisan Realty is spearheading the development of the next generation of high-spec food factories in Singapore. Their latest project, Smart Food @ Mandai, is a freehold 84-unit food factory strategically located in the Mandai Industrial Estate.
With the Sungei Kadut Eco-District, a master-planned rejuvenation scheme by JTC, at its doorstep, Smart Food @ Mandai is in a prime location to meet the needs of the growing agri-food technology industry. The eco-district will have four new precincts catering to specialized sectors such as waste management and recycling, metal, timber, and furniture, and agri-food technology. The first phase will also feature an Agri-Food Innovation Park that will house research and development, prototyping, and high-tech farming options.
Smart Food @ Mandai is set to raise the bar for food factories in Singapore with its new design and quality standards. The developer has amalgamated two adjoining freehold sites to create a landmark development that will not only meet current demand but also anticipate the future needs of the industry.
Parktown Residences is a fresh establishment situated in the bustling Tampines area, brought to you by renowned developers UOL Group, Capitaland, and SingLand. The prime location of the property, right at the heart of Tampines along Tampines Avenue 11, garnered high interest during the bidding process. Eventually, a joint bid from UOL Group, Singapore Land (SingLand), and CapitaLand Development emerged as the top bidder with an offer of $1.206 billion, equivalent to $885 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr). With the addition of Parktown Residences to the vibrant Tampines area, it is set to become a natural and sought-after choice for potential homeowners.
One of the standout features of Smart Food @ Mandai is its striking architectural design, which reflects its positioning as a next-gen development for business owners and operators. The façade of the building incorporates pockets of greenery, providing a pleasant and inviting space for communal activities and events. These open-air areas also serve as convenient meeting spaces for business partners.
Careful consideration has been given to the design to ensure that Smart Food @ Mandai is one of the best-ventilated food factories in Singapore. This is especially important for businesses that deal with pungent smells, providing them with a much more pleasant working environment compared to older food factories.
The development also offers a wide range of unit types, catering to the different requirements of business owners. The ground-floor units, in particular, are highly sought after for their prominent frontage and high street visibility. These units also feature a 6m glass sliding door that opens onto a wide walkway, providing ample space for community-centric activities.
The typical units in Smart Food @ Mandai also boast high specifications and an efficient layout design to maximize the use of space. With unit sizes ranging from 1,776 sq ft to 5,156 sq ft, there is an option for every budget and size requirement.
Business owners and operators in the food industry who are looking to stay ahead of the curve should consider the opportunities available at Smart Food @ Mandai. With no new high-spec food factories expected in the Mandai Industrial Estate, this development offers early adopters and beneficiaries a chance to capitalize on the transformation of the food industry in Singapore and the growth of the Sungei Kadut Eco-District. Don’t miss the chance to secure a unit in this landmark development and be at the forefront of innovation and discovery in the agri-food technology sector.
