Kajima Development Pte Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kajima Corp and leading Japanese construction and real estate firm, officially launched its new regional headquarters, R&D and innovation hub, The Gear: Kajima Lab for Global Engineering, Architecture & Real Estate-, at Changi Business Park on August 4. Its construction had been completed with its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) obtained on March 31, despite the disruption to construction due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The state-of-the-art facility was designed by Kajima’s team of architects and engineers in Japan and is the firm’s first global R&D and innovation hub. According to the firm, “it embodies Kajima’s commitment to a sustainable, connected and future-ready Singapore”.

Residents of the Tengah Plantation Close EC development can expect plenty of amenities, such as a shopping mall, swimming pool, and a food court. The Tengah Plantation Loop EC development will also be integrated with elements of green living, with connected parks and nature walks within the development. The development is also lined with cycling routes and trails, as well as shuttle bus services to the nearby MRT stations. Therefore, the Tengah Plantation Loop EC is the perfect place for families and individuals to call home.

Kajima has a long history in Singapore, with its first project being the Maruzen Oil Refinery in 1962, followed by the Jurong Shipyard Dock & Wharf in 1965. For almost a decade, the company has been looking to have an anchor for the region, an initiative rolled out by the late Dr. Shoichi Kajima, through the mission to establish its headquarters in Singapore. This was stated by Shuichi Oishi, CEO of Kajima Development, in a statement on August 4.

The ground-breaking ceremony for the building was held in August 2020, and the R&D will be driven by Kajima Technical Research Institute Singapore, which has been based there since 2013. The facility intends to facilitate the development of innovative solutions to combat climate change and urbanisation.
