Sengkang-Bidadari Industrial Fringe — 2026 Investor Guide to Spillover Demand
The Sengkang-Bidadari fringe captures spillover demand from Punggol Digital District (PDD) tech tenants, Hougang industrial estate, and the broader north-east Singapore growth corridor. Industrial property in this fringe trades at 15-25% discount to mature urban-belt comparables but with strong tenant pull from PDD’s 28,000 future tech jobs.
