Centurion Corporation Limited has unveiled its Westlite Ubi property, a 1,650-bed Purpose-Built Worker Accommodation (PBWA) in Singapore, which has reached full financial occupancy by April 2025. This development highlights Centurion’s commitment to elevating living standards for migrant workers, aligning with the Ministry of Manpower’s New Dormitory Standards (NDS) well ahead of the 2040 mandate.
Westlite Ubi, located in the Eastern-Central Ubi area, offers modern facilities and amenities that exceed the NDS requirements. These include en-suite toilets, showers, and kitchens in all rooms, providing enhanced convenience for residents. The dormitory also features a minimart, canteen, and barber, ensuring easy access to daily necessities. Additionally, the facility includes a well-equipped gym and privacy corners, promoting both physical and emotional wellbeing.
The Multi-Purpose Hall at Westlite Ubi serves as a communal hub for social activities and can be converted into isolation facilities during emergencies, reflecting Centurion’s pandemic-preparedness plan. The dormitory’s strategic location near major industrial clusters makes it a preferred choice for employers.
Centurion’s CEO, Kong Chee Min, stated, “Westlite Ubi reflects the kind of living environment we believe should be the standard for migrant workers. Every element, from the layout of the rooms to the shared spaces and daily amenities, has been thoughtfully planned with the residents in mind.”
As Centurion continues to upgrade its portfolio, the company remains focused on setting higher standards for worker accommodation, ensuring the wellbeing of residents and meeting evolving regulatory expectations.
