In March, CapitaLand Development (CLD) launched Gourmet Xchange, Singapore’s largest strata-titled food facility and the first integrated waterfront food hub in Kallang.
Designed to support food businesses across the value chain, Gourmet Xchange brings together modern food production, heritage conservation, and public riverfront spaces in a central location.
Gourmet Xchange aims to become an active and inclusive hub transforming the Kallang riverfront into a vibrant community place. By bringing food production closer to where people live, work, and connect, the development reflects Singapore’s evolution towards centrally located industrial spaces that support both economic activity and everyday urban life.
Ronald Tay, CEO of CLD (Singapore) said, “Gourmet Xchange will set a new benchmark for how industrial developments can evolve. What makes the project unique is how it connects food businesses directly with communities. By introducing public and riverfront spaces with dining, events and lifestyle experiences alongside production facilities, we are creating new opportunities for brands to engage customers. This is one of the largest industrial projects that leverages CLD’s placemaking strengths to build a truly vibrant ecosystem in Kallang.”
Purpose-built to support modern food manufacturing, Gourmet Xchange offers production-ready environments engineered for operational efficiency, and scalability. Its prime central location enhances excellent island-wide connectivity, with proximity to workforce, customers, and critical logistics infrastructure.
Gourmet Xchange is also the first strata-titled food development in Singapore to achieve the government’s (BCA) top-tier Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy (SLE) certification with Whole Life Carbon and Maintainability Badge. This achievement sets a new benchmark for sustainable food-grade industrial facilities in Singapore, with energy-efficient and eco-conscious specifications designed to extend the asset’s relevance and durability over time.
Gourmet Xchange comprises 264 units in a 9-storey block and 8 terraced units in a three-storey heritage block, making it suitable for food businesses across the value chain. The development offers versatility to accommodate a wide range of business models – from production facilities, central kitchens, and cloud kitchens to storage and distribution operators, F&B outlets, and food innovation players.
The facility features high-capacity infrastructure including rare, large contiguous spaces ranging from 3,000 to 7,000 sq.ft. The facility’s flexibility allows businesses to scale within the same hub, supporting long-term growth. Its specifications make it ideal for international food companies anchoring regional operations and Southeast Asia distribution in Singapore.
Gourmet Xchange is the first development to extend food factory functionality beyond traditional B2B operations, encompassing food kiosks, restaurants, and the possibility to convert selected production units to consumer-oriented showrooms (subject to necessary approvals). These public-facing functions enable brands to produce, distribute, and engage directly with customers from a single integrated hub, creating new revenue opportunities and strengthening brand presence alongside core production activities.
