Gourmet Xchange @ Kallang Way is a complete food factory hub to revolutionise operating benchmarks for efficient, compliant and scalable F&B businesses.
Located at 10 Kallang Way 5, Gourmet Xchange aims to be an ecosystem custom-built for Singapore’s growing food economy. The development combines advanced industrial design, sustainable engineering, practical operation benefits for the asti-pure operator on their way to process having hygiene and safety as key drivers.
In contrast to refurbishing general industrial buildings for food production, Gourmet Xchange was designed and built as a purpose-built food factory site. Each level of the multi-story building is specifically designed to meet the needs of food manufacturing, storage and distribution.
The high floor-loading capability also means that heavy machinery can be accommodated, including mixers, blast freezers and automated packaging lines. Column free layouts and large driveways create a seamless internal logistics, with thoughtfully positioned loading bays on each floor ensuring the smooth transportation of both raw materials and finished goods. These options are essential for hit-hungry users with large production runs or time sensitive deliveries.
Gourmet Xchange, all of whose units are designed with flexibility in mind. Businesses can customize their spaces for central kitchens, food process lines, bakery production or cold storage facilities. Exhaust shafts, grease traps and improve d drainage system takes care of SFA and NEA requirements enabling user to start operation with little time lag for renovation. Non-slip floors, washable wall coverings and easy-clean surfaces all enhance the facility’s cleanability profile, while dedicated waste management systems support responsible disposal.
These built-in specs allow tenants to operate immediately rather than waiting months and deploying a large amount of capital on retrofit. This pragmatism underlines why Gourmet Xchange is an attractive proposition for businesses of all shapes and sizes, from the established firm taking its business to the next level to a fledgling brand seeking already up-and-running facilities.
CapitaLand has incorporated sustainability and smart-building technology into Gourmet Xchange’s core. Energy efficient lighting systems, water saving fixtures and enhanced ventilation with low energy consumption to benefit energy performance yet reduce running costs. This is in line with Singapore’s Green Mark requirements and CapitaLand’s overall ESG pledges.
Smart metering and building-management systems that can present the tenant with a real-time account of resource usage enable the user to make informed choices regarding energy use and cost management. For an industry with utilities as a large proportion of overhead, this transparency contributes to long-term operational efficiency.
It also focuses on environmental sanitation and the safety of workflow. Wet and dry sections can be accommodated in individual units, with a centralized approach to garbage disposal allowing optimal segregation and collection of waste. These additions help to minimize the potential for cross-contamination, and aid in keeping pace with regulatory inspections.
Combined, they embody CapitaLand’s belief in building for now and the future—a future where productivity and sustainability are “perfect partners.”
Driving Singapore’s Food Resilience and Innovation Ambitions
Gourmet Xchange’s launch is timely given the state of Singapore’s food scene right now. The government’s “30 by 30” promotion is calling for the country to be able to satisfy 30 percent of its nutrition needs from home sources by 2030. To achieve it, you need a state-of-the-art production facility that enables innovation, automation and scale— which is exactly what Gourmet Xchange provides.
The hub is looking to draw a broad spectrum of tenants from along the F&B value chain – including central kitchen operators, food-tech start-ups, processing firms and logistics companies. This form of clustering will encourage cooperation and sharing, effectively bringing about a food ecosystem within the same facility. They can also use shared services, collaborate with packaging companies or co-develop with local food labs and research facilities.
For CapitaLand, the project is part of its commitment to help enhance Singapore’s future food security. Through the development of a purpose-built food-grade hub in central England, catchment at the heart of government strategy can create both asset and value for investors and tenants.
CapitaLand, one of Asia’s largest real estate companies, is known for creating an environment that think commercial and industrial space ahead embracing the changes in market trends. In the case of Gourmet Xchange, the team has brought its long-standing design and operational skills to food manufacturing, creating a prime example for Singapore’s mission to enhance both food security and innovation.
Spanning a large site, the development is sited at the Kallang Way industrial estate on city-fringes which has been the traditional home of light manufacturing and logistic companies. CapitaLand’s dream is to transform this precinct into a specialised food production hub, drawing in both existing manufacturers and next-generation F&B entrepreneurs. Utilizing top notch specs, intelligent infrastructure and adaptable unit designs my objective for the project is to give one of a kind playing field for long term growth in Singapore’s highly regulated food industry.
Everything about Gourmet Xchange is forward thinking. From building layout, mechanical systems and space planning, CapitaLand focused not only on functionality but also created a facility that is highly compliant and adaptable—significant to businesses operating in one of the world’s strictest food safety environments.
Gourmet Xchange’s location at Kallang Way is definitely its top selling point. Situated between the CBD and EPC, the development is well served by expressways including the PIE, KPE and CTE. This central network is a must-have for food businesses that run daily logistics and citywide distribution.
In the case of central kitchens supplying a number of restaurant outlets with food fodder, distributed by trucks all running on shorter routes to minimise logistics, fresh goods are delivered more quickly and at less cost per mile. Manufacturers with an export focus are given convenient access to Singapore’s air and sea port infrastructure, and businesses in neighboring estates of MacPherson, Aljunied, and Geylang can easily synchronize their supply chains.
Public transit connections also make it accessible for employees. The area is also easily accessible via nearby MRT stations such as Geylang Bahru, Mattar and Potong Pasir, linking it to residential estates throughout the island so that workers can commute there. It is this rare mixture of transportation convenience and centrality that makes Gourmet Xchange more competitive than satellite industrial estates.
Beyond accessibility, the site is part of a mature business district, which means a great support infrastructure in utilities and fixtures such as maintenance services and food centres and retail shops that make tenants’ day-to-day more efficient.
Above and beyond bricks and mortar, Gourmet Xchange is established as a business community where businesses thrive working together. The mix of tenants — from small-batch creators to regional distributors — accommodates the promise of more than just tenancy. For example, a sauce maker could team with a cold-storage company next door, or a food-tech start up could work together with packaging experts miles away inside the same building.
This ecosystem-based approach also creates an environment for innovation, supply chain optimization and quicker time to market. CapitaLand’s capabilities in property management means shared facilities, logistics coordination and maintenance are managed effectively, allowing tenants to focus energies on production and product development.
In addition, it is strategically situated that tenants can service both B2B and B2C clientele very efficiently. A company may be able to run a production line by day in the facility and then sample or conduct R&D with partners at night – using site accessibility and corporate identity as a powerful tool.
From an investment point of view, Gourmet Xchange in Kallang is a good deal for the industrial property market in Singapore. Despite the economic ups and downs, demand growth of food-grade industrial space has been strong as food-related production and logistics are critical sectors with powerful structural drivers.
The projects strategic location and purpose built specifications place it as an investment for the future. With the urbanization and industrial land scarcity trends currently still persisting in Singapore, centrally-located properties such as Gourmet Xchange are anticipated to gain in investment value — both rental yields and capital appreciation will appreciate. The resilience of the asset is even stronger given that the food manufacturing industry remains stable, making it ideal for investors who are hunting for guaranteed income.
CapitaLand’s participation comes with an added layer of confidence. With it’s disciplined development criteria’s and professional property-management skills the group also facilitates building quality, maintenance and tenant profiles as per institutional-grade standards. This stewardship creates long-term value for both occupiers and investors.
For business owners who want to own their working spaces, buying a unit at Gourmet Xchange also represents control: over how your space is layed out, expanded (or not), and how its occupancy costs will unfold long term. Instead of leasing renewals in older, not-built-for-purpose facilities, owners obtain a permanent food-grade base that can upgrade with them.
