IN what could be a precursor to the creation of a new class of space - between office and light industrial - JTC Corporation is understood to be spearheading the development of a building, expected to be in Woodlands, that will provide affordable space for rental to companies that provide manufacturing-related services but do not have industrial production in Singapore.
This is in response to feedback in recent years from trade associations that there is a lack of affordable office space in Singapore. At the same time, many businesses do not qualify for the use of cheaper premises zoned for Business 1 (or B1) use, where typically light industrial and warehouse uses are allowed - since they do not have manufacturing operations here.
