THE launch of JTC Space @ Tampines North - the latest in JTC Corporation's suite of infrastructure solutions that integrates land-based facilities with high-rise, multi-user factories - is expected to fill a market gap particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in heavier manufacturing activities.

Specifically, the next generation industrial facility is designed to be "future-ready", with designated vibration-sensitive space for new industries such as additive manufacturing and robotics. Additionally, the provision of high ceilings enables companies to retrofit the units to new usage such as cleanrooms and laboratories. Features like high floor loading and wide corridors also mean that some of the traditionally land-based industries can now go high-rise.

The nine-storey development features five land-based units which span 1,200 to 1,900 sq m and 105 high-rise units which range from 160 to 260 sq m.
