CT FoodNEX by local developer Chiu Teng Group is set to receive its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) soon, marking a major milestone for the bestselling project in Mandai.
As a testament to CT FoodNEX’s popularity, 80% of its freehold units have already been sold, solidifying Chiu Teng Group’s reputation as a market leader in delivering innovative, customer-centric factory solutions.
Positioned as a next-generation food factory with cold chain-capable units, CT Foodnex is designed to be end-user centric, equipped with high specifications for end-to-end cold chain management that set it apart from other entry-level food factories in the heart of Mandai.
The 10-storey CT FoodNEX comprises 109 well-crafted B2 production units and a temporary industrial canteen. Of these, 21 units spread across levels one to six and level eight are still available for discerning business owners.

Best specifications among food factories
Retaining the freshness of food ingredients such as meat and vegetables during transport, whether coming into Singapore or being exported, is no easy task. To ensure food safety and minimise food wastage, temperatures must be kept consistently low within delivery trucks specially equipped with insulated walls and cooling systems.
Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA, comments: “The design of a food factory is inherently more intricate than that of a conventional facility. Maintaining an end-to-end, unbroken cold chain is not merely a design consideration but a non-negotiable food safety standard.”
“Any break in this chain risks product spoilage, contamination, and ultimately, the erosion of consumer trust. Owning your facility provides greater control over the entire supply chain process, helping to mitigate these risks effectively,” adds Chu.

Examples of CT FoodNEX’s wide range of user-friendly features include generous ramp-up facilities, designed to help operators of large 40-foot and 20-foot refrigerated container trucks easily back into the units located on levels one and two to four respectively, for unloading. This key feature sets CT FoodNEX apart, as few food factories in Mandai offer such facilities. Besides, each unit comes with its own toilets and a refuse bin point.
Ken Low, SRI managing partner, says, “In land-scarce Singapore, efficient logistics infrastructure is vital for food businesses to thrive. CT FoodNEX’s wide ramp-up facilities offer a key advantage by allowing direct access for 20-foot and 40-foot container trucks, streamlining goods movement, and reducing turnaround time.”
“This not only strengthens cold chain integrity and operational efficiency but also enables businesses to meet tight delivery schedules, which is a crucial edge in Singapore’s fast-paced F&B landscape,” adds Low.

Well-crafted for operational efficiency
Level one units boast floor-to-floor heights ranging from 7.475m to 8.175m, offering generous specifications for temperature-controlled storage. Additionally, its floor plans facilitate the construction of smart cold rooms with racks to store prime fresh produce. A mezzanine area serves both as a rest area for the workers or other complementary uses as approved by the authorities.
The units on levels two to four are equipped with a full suite of amenities that facilitate everything from cooking, food preparation, and storage to delivery with common loading and unloading bays to accommodate up to 20-foot container trucks, so that food items can retain their optimal freshness by reaching customers easily and efficiently.
With its multi-faceted concept and customisable solutions catering to individual business needs, CT FoodNEX appeals to a broad spectrum of F&B manufacturing firms, from well-established family businesses to gourmet food vendors to experienced brewers
For vertical expansion, buyers can purchase the unit directly above their cold chain-capable unit and connect the two floors with a lift (subject to the approval from the relevant authorities). This setup translates to less effort required to move the goods received and processed on the first level to the second level for storage until delivery.
Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, says: “Ramp-up facilities that offer direct access to a unit are particularly crucial to F&B business owners as they allow for faster and direct loading and unloading of raw food and cooked food. The increased efficiency in the supply chain can lead to significant cost savings for F&B businesses.”

The strategic location of CT FoodNEX, which is just an eight-minute drive from the Woodlands Causeway, minimises the time in transporting raw ingredients from the farms in Malaysia.
