Kallang Distripark: Six Numbers to Know

Published 18 October 2026

13 hectares, 5.1 hectares, 2 hectares and 15 metres: those four figures anchor the proposal EdgeProp reported on 17 October 2026, in which Bukit Sembawang Estates would acquire a 5.1 ha portion of the 13 ha Kallang Distripark site from Tropical Warehousing Co, a company owned by members of the Lee group, under a conditional put-and-call agreement. Bukit Sembawang made its bourse filing on the evening of 16 October 2026. The plan adds a 2 ha public park and a 15 m-wide waterfront promenade to what has been an industrial and warehouse site, and the figures below put the rest of the proposal in order.

Kallang Distripark in Six Numbers, Listed for Gourmet Xchange

• 5.1 ha of 13 ha: the portion Bukit Sembawang proposes to buy, bounded by the Kallang River and Pelton Canal, at roughly 51,000 sq m.
• 24,905 sq m and about 41 years: a plot within the site and the years left on its 99-year lease, which expires in 2067; a fresh 99-year lease would need in-principle approval from SLA through surrender of the existing head lease.
• 74,707 sq m at a gross plot ratio of 3.0: the permissible gross floor area, subject to approvals.
• 2 ha and 15 m: the public park and the waterfront promenade, with new roads, all to be designed, built, completed and maintained by the buyer.
• 600 to 800: the number of new units analysts estimated in August, as cited by EdgeProp.
• 2,250 to 2,550: URA's estimate of new units across the whole privately owned site, set in three plots with a 1.8 ha reserve site and a 2 ha neighbourhood park.

The Conditions Attached, Noted for Gourmet Xchange Readers

The agreement is conditional. EdgeProp reported that it needs shareholder approval at an extraordinary general meeting, with the Lee-group entities abstaining, and in-principle approval from SLA. The buyer must also demolish certain warehouses and buildings, in addition to building the park, promenade and roads. URA proposed in August 2026 to amend the Master Plan so that the whole privately owned Kallang Distripark site, an industrial and warehouse site up to the report, becomes a new neighbourhood; the other two plots are largely freehold.

The Kallang Setting, From a Gourmet Xchange Viewpoint

EdgeProp described the Distripark as a city-fringe site about 5 km from the city centre, near Geylang Bahru and Kallang MRT stations and major expressways. Bukit Sembawang said the transaction diversifies its portfolio, which includes Luxus Hills, Seletar Hills Estate and Sembawang Hills Estate. The shareholder vote and the SLA decision are the next steps named in the filing.
