Tuas — Singapore's Primary Warehouse & Heavy Industrial Zone
Tuas is Singapore's primary heavy industrial and large-scale warehouse zone — offering B2 industrial units, large-footprint warehouses, and single-user logistics facilities from $1.20–$2.20 psf/month near the Port of Singapore Tuas Mega Port.
Tuas is Singapore's westernmost and largest heavy industrial zone — a planned industrial estate spanning over 7,000 hectares and hosting Singapore's most significant manufacturing, petrochemical, engineering, and logistics operations. The ongoing development of Tuas Mega Port — which will become the world's largest container terminal upon full completion in the 2040s — is further entrenching Tuas as Singapore's premier location for port-adjacent warehousing, container logistics, and freight forwarding operations. Companies seeking large-footprint B2 industrial or warehouse space in Singapore consistently look to Tuas for its scale, land availability, and port proximity.
Warehouse Space Specifications in Tuas
Tuas offers the widest range of warehouse and heavy industrial space in Singapore. Options include JTC single-user factory plots (from 0.5 hectares), built-to-suit warehouses (50,000–500,000 sqft), strata warehouse units (1,000–5,000 sqft), and high-bay logistics centres with dock levellers and container yard access. Typical leased warehouse rents in Tuas range from $1.20 to $2.20 psf per month — significantly lower than the central and eastern industrial clusters.
Activities Permitted in Tuas B2 Industrial Zone
Tuas B2 zoning accommodates the full range of industrial activities including heavy manufacturing, chemical processing, metal fabrication, petrochemical storage, container logistics, waste management, and shipyard support operations. Certain B2 zones permit activities with significant noise, vibration, or emission output — activities that would not be permitted in the more urban B1 clusters. SpaceCycle.sg advises on zone-specific permits and JTC/EDB requirements for companies establishing operations in Tuas.
Port of Singapore Access from Tuas
The Tuas Mega Port, when fully operational, will consolidate all container port activities from Pasir Panjang and Tanjong Pagar terminals into a single ultra-efficient mega-terminal adjacent to the Tuas industrial estate. For importers, exporters, and 3PLs, locating a warehouse in Tuas provides the shortest possible drayage distance between the container terminal and the distribution facility — a meaningful operational cost advantage at scale.
