Land Occupied by Single-storey Industrial Buildings and Plans to Intensify Land Use

Ms Hazel Poa asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry (a) what is the total area of JTC-managed land that is currently occupied by single-storey buildings, such as terrace workshops, industrial shops and workshops; and (b) whether there are plans to intensify land use on these sites by developing high-rise multi-user buildings.

Mr Gan Kim Yong: Single-storey buildings currently occupy about 580 hectares, or 8%, of JTC Corp-managed land. Given our land scarcity, JTC actively plans for and promotes the intensification of our industrial land where feasible and desirable.
