Sheng Siong to build $520m HQ, warehouse at Sungei Kadut

It is 2.5 times larger than the current Mandai Link facility.

Sheng Siong Group Ltd will relocate its headquarters and distribution centre to a new $520m facility at Sungei Kadut to support its next phase of growth.

The supermarket operator said its subsidiary C M M Marketing Management Pte. Ltd. (CMM) has accepted a 33-year lease from JTC Corporation for a 61,297 sq m site at Sungei Kadut Street 1.

The lease starts on 18 December 2025, with possession granted about two months earlier and a rent-free period until the start date.

The new complex will replace Sheng Siong’s current hub at 6 Mandai Link, which will be transferred to another subsidiary, MDL Property Pte. Ltd. (MDL).

MDL will take over the remaining Mandai Link lease, which runs until 9 January 2039, whilst CMM will remain as a subtenant for up to two years after the Sungei Kadut site is operational.

MDL must sell or assign the Mandai property to a JTC-approved buyer by 17 December 2031 or within two years of the new site’s temporary occupation permit, whichever comes first.

The Sungei Kadut development will feature a warehouse, distribution centre and corporate headquarters more than twice the size of the current site. It will include temperature-controlled storage, food processing areas and advanced automation such as automated storage and retrieval systems, robotics and smart inventory management.

Sheng Siong must invest at least $120m in plant and machinery and complete construction within four years of the lease start.

The company estimates total costs, including land rent, construction, equipment and solar panel installation, at about $520m, funded by internal resources and external borrowings.

The current Mandai Link facility, built to serve 50 supermarkets, is nearing capacity.

The Sungei Kadut site will support up to 120 supermarkets, enabling Sheng Siong to continue opening about three new stores a year over the next 10 to 15 years.
