The entire operation of Sengkang Connection is based on its multi-storey ramp-up structure. Rather than just shared cargo lifts (which often create logistics bottlenecks and long turnaround times in traditional flatted factories), there is drive-up ramp access to the building for continuous drive-up access. Rigid trucks and heavy commercial vehicles can drive directly up to the upper-level units, and then load and unload on the doorfront.
Each unit has motorized roller shutters, so businesses can pass their cargo from vehicle to production or storage floor directly. This direct-access configuration can reduce the amount of work needed to handle it, speed up order fulfillment, and reduce the risk of product damage while traveling.
Ground-Floor Freight Infrastructure. Sengkang Connection provides high-capacity moving freight on its floor with high-speed loading and unloading bays with hydraulic dock levellers for 20-foot and 40-foot container trucks. The large vehicular turning radius and wide internal driveways allow prime movers of the trucks as well as heavy logistics to move through the building without disturbing the site traffic.
The building layout has a structure that separates heavy containers on the ground floor and light trucks on the ramps and maintains smooth, uninterrupted traffic flow during the day. High load-bearing, high ceiling heights. All floors in Sengkang Connection are designed to accommodate the requirements of Business 2 industrial trade sectors such as heavy precision engineering, automated assembly, and high-density warehousing.
The floors on the top of production floors can handle high load (10-15 kN/m²) with clear vertical clearance of 5-6 meters. And because of the large vertical space, occupiers can use it to expand space by building multiple layers of ASRS, high-pallet racking systems, or high-end mezzanine levels for office and administrative space. A column-free unit layout is available in Sengkang Connection and is rectangular in shape and can be expanded to cover as much floor plate as possible.
With no columns, dead corners, and no restrictions on the industrial space, the occupiers can arrange heavy machines and set up linear production assembly lines or robotic picking systems without having to be in the floor. The units are for company-wide business operation. They can be used both at the front-of-house and back-of-house administration office, technical testing lab, and back-of-house storage. The unit has washroom facilities and electrical power in which systems are equipped with 3-phase power for energy-intensive machines.
Sengkang Connection has an advantageous position in District 28, on the Sengkang West Way and Seletar West Road 3. The development is close to major expressways such as Tampines Expressway (TPE), Central Expressway (CTE), and Seletar Expressway (SLE), so commercial fleets can quickly access Changi Airport, the eastern logistics centre, and central business districts.
The proximity to Seletar Aerospace Park gives supply chain integration with worldwide aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) and high-value precision engineering networks. And its location on the North-East industrial corridor is near the Punggol Digital District, so it will also provide long-term opportunities in clean-tech prototyping and digital logistics.
On-site facilities and sustainable design.
The development is located in the middle of the residential areas of Sengkang and Fernvale, and businesses can always find local labour to work for in their place. There are excellent public transport connections to the area (bus stops along Sengkang West Way and close to the Thanggam LRT station) that make commuting at work simple.
The Sengkang Connection provides a well-built, cost-effective operating base for modern industrial companies in Singapore with sustainable building practices to save energy. Sengkang Connection is an important development in Singapore’s North East growth sector. Situated along Sengkang West Way and Seletar West Road 3 in District 28, this Business 2 (B2) industrial site lies in the heart of the growing Seletar West industrial district.
The site is developed by Soilbuild Group Holdings Ltd in the JTC Industrial Government Land Sales (IGLS) project under 23,000 square meters with a generous gross plot ratio of 2.5. It offers a direct, easy to access route to Singapore’s major transport arteries the Tampines Expressway (TPE), Central Expressway (CTE) and Seletar Expressway (SLE).
These roads are used by commercial vehicles to reach Changi Airport, along the eastern logistics corridor and the commercial nodes of the city. And because of the proximity of Seletar Aerospace Park to global aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) leaders and precision engineering supply chains, the business is situated right next to them.
Sengkang Connection Nearby Amenities.
Unlike the isolated industrial estates in far-flung areas, Sengkang Connection offers high-quality industrial utility and high urban convenience. It is located on the edge of an expanding residential district of Sengkang and Fernvale that allows an immediate pool of workers to get to work and transit.
With a direct line of public transportation in Sengkang West Way and near Thanggam LRT Station, it is the closest to the Sengkang MRT and Bus Interchange and daily meals and living in the neighbourhood are provided. Healthcare services are easily accessible at Sengkang General Hospital. Being situated in mature residential sub-markets helps to draw in labour more efficiently and maintain productivity overall.
Floor Plan of Sengkang Connection
The floor plan of 8-storey Sengkang Connection is designed to facilitate the processes of industrial, manufacturing and logistics work, and it has a ramp-up system that enables rigid trucks and heavy trucks to drive up to individual units on top of the building.
This fast access over shared cargo lifts and a shorter turnaround time of loading and unloading. Ground-floor layouts have heavy-duty loading bays with dock levellers for 40-foot container trucks, large motorized roller shutters and large vehicular turning radii. At the base of the buildings are regular column-free floor plates and large floor-loading capacities for heavy plant equipment, automatic picking and high-density warehouse storage without structural stress.
Elevating ceiling clearance also lets occupiers to use multi-tier ASRS (Automatic Storage and Retrieval System) or approved mezzanine offices for high-end vertical space in the North East. From the industrial real estate standpoint, Sengkang Connection is very promising because it is located in the heart of the world’s emerging economic transformation zones.
With the development of the nearby Punggol Digital District (PDD) as a commercial centre for technology, cybersecurity and smart national infrastructure in Singapore, it is expected that the need for complementary B2 hardware prototyping and clean-tech production as well as logistics facilities will continue to grow and that of PPD is expanding.
Backed by a 33-year JTC leasehold tenure and Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy (Green Mark Platinum) level and with the Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy standards, the development will enable forward-thinking enterprises with modern and sustainable infrastructure that will ensure a modern, sustainable infrastructure with the highest level of operational efficiency and low-energy capability to reduce long-term operational costs.
The site lies in the North East industrial belt of Seletar Aerospace Park, the northern industrial districts and the new digital district in the north and the north-east industrial district and is a resilient corporate asset for occupiers and investors, the source of long term growth in the supply chain will be able to sustain it.
