JTC has announced the launch of a new Purpose-Built Dormitory (PBD) site at Gali Batu, in collaboration with the Ministry of Manpower and the Ministry of National Development. The site, spanning 4.07 hectares, is set to provide accommodation for up to 10,000 individuals and includes 3,000 square metres of commercial space.
The Gali Batu site is available for tender, with a closing date set for 22 September 2026 at 11:00 am. The dormitory is zoned under C&CI (Commercial and Community Institution) and comes with a 30-year tenure. This development is part of Singapore’s ongoing efforts to enhance living conditions for workers by providing purpose-built accommodations.
Interested parties can purchase the Tender Packet for S$185.30, inclusive of GST, through the official government portal. This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to improving infrastructure for foreign workers, ensuring they have access to quality living spaces.
The strategic location and comprehensive facilities of the Gali Batu site are expected to attract significant interest from developers and investors. The project not only aims to address housing needs but also to integrate commercial facilities, enhancing the overall living experience for residents.
As Singapore continues to grow, such developments are crucial in supporting the workforce and maintaining the city-state’s reputation as a leading global hub. The successful tender of this site will mark another step forward in the nation’s urban planning and development strategy.
