What qualifies as food factory zoning
Food factory is a sub-category within B2 industrial requiring:
- SFA (Singapore Food Agency) licensing for any food preparation, storage, or processing
- Specific drainage, ventilation, and hygiene compliance
- Pest control + food safety management systems
- Trade effluent treatment capability
- HALAL certification (if applicable for the tenant)
Key food factory belts in Singapore
| Belt | Profile |
|---|---|
| Senoko Food Park | Established F&B central kitchen + distribution hub |
| Loyang / Changi North | Logistics + F&B production for airport catering |
| Tuas (food zone) | Heavy food processing + import/export |
| Kallang (small-scale F&B) | Central kitchens for CBD F&B operators |
| Bedok North (B1+B2 fringe) | Small-scale food prep + bakeries |
Investment considerations
- Tenant covenant — F&B tenants are typically smaller covenants than industrial-grade tenants. Yield premium reflects covenant risk.
- SFA compliance — buyer should verify property is SFA-licensable for intended use.
- Specialised infrastructure — hygiene infrastructure adds 15-30% to fit-out cost.
- Yield band — 7-9% gross typical for food factory due to covenant + specialty premium.
