$1.4b life sciences and innovation cluster unveiled in science park rejuvenation

CapitaLand said the cluster adds 180,600 sqm to back biomedical R&D.

CapitaLand Group (CapitaLand) announced the “Geneo” life sciences and innovation cluster in the 55-hectare Singapore Science Park (SSP).

Geneo is composed of three properties with five state-of-the-art sustainable buildings at various stages of completion, which will offer about 180,600 square metres (sq m) of gross floor area (GFA) with work-live-play elements when fully completed in 2025.

The properties are 1 Science Park Drive (comprising three buildings), 5 Science Park Drive and 7 Science Park Drive.

With about S$1.37 billion in investments, Geneo marks the latest phase in CapitaLand’s multistage precinct rejuvenation of SSP, Singapore’s first research & development (R&D) and technology park. When Geneo is fully operational, SSP’s population is seen to grow by over 75% to about 21,000 from the current 12,000.

William Tay, CEO of the manager of CapitaLand Ascendas REIT (CLAR), said they take part in the development of Geneo as a joint venture partner for 1 Science Park Drive with a 34% stake in the property.

“1 Science Park Drive accounts for about 64% of Geneo’s total GFA of 180,600 sq m. Given its prime location, seamless underground connection to the Kent Ridge MRT station and state-of-the-art design and property specifications, we expect strong demand from tenants in new economy sectors such as biomedical sciences, digital and technology,” he added.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
