Work starts on next phase of Fusionopolis

WORK has started on the next phase of technology and research hub Fusionopolis at one-north in Buona Vista.

Two new towers - 18 storeys and 11 storeys respectively - will be built at the junction of Fusionopolis Way and Ayer Rajah Avenue, in what will become Fusionopolis Phase 2A.

Industrial landlord JTC Corporation, which is overseeing the development of one-north, has called a tender for the construction and completion of all the works for both towers, it said yesterday.

JTC aims to develop Fusionopolis Phase 2A into a research node 'that will nurture a vibrant research community', it added.

To this end, Phase 2A will take up a 1.04ha site with an approximate gross floor area of 904,168 sq ft. This will include a multi-storey business park, wet/dry laboratories and office areas.

JTC has previously said that Phase 2A, which will feature Singapore's largest R&D clean-room facility, should be ready by 2013.

Phase 1 was officially opened in October 2008 and Phase 2B was completed early this year.

JTC is planning to launch the site for Phase 3 by the end of this month.
