A ramp-up freezer and chiller warehouse in 8 Jalan Besut, slated to be fully complete in 1H2026 and capable of storing up to 80 million kgs of food, is up for lease.
The premises available for lease on level 3 have already achieved temporary occupation permit (TOP) and have been running as a freezer space for the past year. This is the only freezer space available with ramp-up access and dedicated loading bays currently in the market, a significant advantage for operators handling high volumes of temperature-sensitive goods, says CBRE, which has been jointly appointed to market for tenants.
The rest of the property is slated to achieve full completion in 1H2026 and will incorporate a high-bay automatic storage and retrieval system of about 45m on the upper levels.
Situated in the western part of Singapore, the 500,000 sq ft property is within a five-minute drive of the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) and enjoys excellent connectivity to Singapore’s major seaports, including Jurong Port and Tuas Mega Port, says CBRE on Jan 7.
It is approximately a 12-minute drive to Jurong East MRT Station and six minutes to the future Jurong Pier MRT Station.
The facility is zoned “Business 2” under the Master Plan and offers an available area of approximately 8,201 sqm on level 3. It has a generous ceiling height of 10m from floor to ceiling and a clear storage height of 8.85m to the sprinkler clearance line, capable of storing between 7,000 to 10,000 pallet positions.

The warehouse floor is designed to support heavy loads with a capacity of 25 kilonewtons per square metre (kN/sqm), while the ante room is rated at 15kN/sqm.
Temperature-controlled environments are provided, with ante room chiller spaces maintained between 4°C and 7°C, and freezer areas operating at as low as -25°C to -27°C. The property is equipped with 16 loading bays suitable for twenty- and forty-foot trailers, each measuring 3.3m by 14m, with a 16m driveway to facilitate vehicle movement.
Power provision includes 300 amps at the distribution board, with multiple spare breakers of various sizes available. To support cold chain operations, the facility features sixteen reefer charging points rated at 32 amps each and six forklift charging points also rated at 32 amps.
