A unique freehold B2 industrial facility, Foodfab At Mandai is designed to meet all of a person’s F&B requirements. Mandai7 JV is working together to create the whole 47-unit complex. These two well-known firms are working together to bring you this amazing project.
There are a total of 47 freehold apartments on 10 levels, all of which have been thoughtfully planned to support F&B company operations while also anticipating future expansion. The sizes of the units range from 158 square meters to 272 square meters. There are 5 units each level.
Floor-to-floor heights range from 6.5 m on the first story up to 5.6 m on the 10th floor, according to other technical specifications. There is a 12.5kN/m2 floor loading. One cold room, one garbage chute, and one kitchen exhaust ventilation system are included in every one of the building’s 47 apartments. Depending on whatever unit you require, the power supply may provide 100A to 150A 3-phase, with a reserve electric provision of 1350A 3-phase.
There are two lifts in the building: one for service and one for passengers. With the exception of the L1 units, all other units have a single 20-foot loading bay. The ramp’s width is designed for stiff 20-footers, thus it’s 7.5 meters wide. Additionally, each unit is equipped with a single set of toilets. All of these features will be very useful to customers.
Even though it’s a necessary need for all living things, food may also be a lucrative company. Unless you’re really fortunate, finding a site that’s custom built for a company is quite difficult, particularly if your firm is food-related and selling for a very fair price with significant growth potential. Unbelievable, yet these kinds of bargains really occur.
There is a designated fire control center (FCC) as well as an administrative office for safety purposes. The public parking area contains 21 spaces, including one handicapped-accessible space on the roof. There are distinct entry and egress pathways, anti-bacterial sanitary ware and SFA-approved construction for central kitchens, food production and food processing facilities.
Location of Foodfab at Mandai
Agri-Food innovation is a major part of Mandai Estate’s plans, and it’s slated to include high-tech farming communities and manufacturing facilities. Kranji MRT Station is seven minutes’ drive away, as is Woodlands Causeway, and Woodlands MRT is eleven minutes’ drive away. Importantly, the property is located twelve minutes’ drive from Woodlands MRT.
The location is close to key expressways such as SLE, BKE, and I-95, making it ideal for saving time on logistics. Kranji MRT has a direct service (Bus number 960) to Mandai Estate road, therefore your employees should have no trouble getting to work.
Demand for Food Factory Singapore
As e-commerce and food delivery services expand in popularity, Colliers International’s Singapore director of research Tricia Song thinks that demand for food factories in Singapore would stay robust.
In Woodlands Industrial Xchange, foodpanda established its first central kitchen in March 2018 with a dine-in option. A month earlier, Deliveroo has opened its second CT Hub 2 central kitchen.
Storage, processing, cooking and packaging of food for retail consumers as well as F&B businesses are all done at food factories.
While Colliers expects demand to fall short of supply in 2019-2020, delivery service providers have been able to maintain their market share despite increased competition.
Approximately 3.68 million square feet of new food manufacturing space is now under construction, which is nine to ten percent of the total amount of existing food manufacturing space. Over the next two years, this will be finished to a greater or lesser extent.
Almost all of the new supply will be concentrated in Singapore’s northeast, northwest, and eastern areas.
According to Colliers, central kitchens located near residential areas or the central business district attract higher prices and rentals.
In addition to F&B businesses looking to simplify their retail spaces, demand for such assets is being fuelled by the government’s push for innovation and increased efficiency in Singapore’s food sector.
The demand for food factories in Singapore’s city center is still robust, according to Colliers, with occupancy rates in established food production districts like Bedok North, MacPherson, and Pandan Loop ranging from 80 percent to 100 percent.
Occupancy rates for similar homes in newer and distant places, such as Senoko and Tuas, were about 60%.
Colliers predicts that pricing and rents for food manufacturers will stay steady over the next three to five years as a result of the plentiful supply.
The northern area has monthly prices ranging from $1.80 per square foot (psf) to $2.40 psf, while the western region has rates ranging from $1.50 psf to $2.40 psf.
“Food factories are one of the few bright spots in the industrial property market,” said Dominic Peters, senior director of industrial services at Colliers International.
“We urge that tenants pay attention to the rules and have an open mind about facilities located outside the city center in order to save on rent; and operators keep their facilities up to date in order to stay competitive.”
