JTC Achieves Record Occupancy Level For Ready-Built Facilities In Q1

Source : Channel NewsAsia, 29 April 2008

JTC has achieved a record occupancy level for its ready-built facilities in the first quarter of 2008.

Net allocation was 38,400 square metres, six-fold higher than the same period last year.

In its quarterly report, JTC said this helped to boost the occupancy level for ready-built facilities by 1.3 percentage points to 93.9 percent.

Termination level, however, has gone up as well - to 51,100 square metres in the first quarter of this year, compared to 45,300 square metres in the first quarter of 2007.

However, the net allocation for prepared industrial land remained strong - at 114.9 hectares - due partly to the general expansion across the manufacturing sector for 2007.

Looking ahead, more ready-built spaces are expected to come on stream with Phase 2 construction of Fusionopolis, which is set to be completed by the third quarter of 2010. - CNA/ms
