Centurion wins $343m tender for 7,000-bed Kranji dormitory

The 22,079 sq. m. site carries a 30-year lease.

Centurion Corporation Limited has won a $343m tender from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) for a purpose-built worker dormitory site at Kranji Close.

The 22,079-square-metre site has a gross plot ratio of 3.0 and can accommodate about 7,000 beds, according to a bourse filing.

The tender closed on 12 June and attracted 10 bids, with Centurion submitting the highest offer.

The site carries a 30-year lease.

As at 30 June, Centurion owned and operated 10 purpose-built worker accommodation assets in Singapore with about 41,898 beds.

The Kranji Close development will increase its Singapore worker-accommodation capacity by approximately 17%.

The group plans to develop the project through a joint venture in which it will hold a 90% stake, whilst an unnamed partner will own the remaining 10%. The arrangement is subject to BCA approval.

Construction is expected to be completed in the second quarter (Q2) of 2028, with the dormitory scheduled to become operational in Q3.

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.
