Rare Fully Equipped Specialty Chemicals Manufacturing Facility on Jurong Island for Sale

CBRE, as the exclusive marketing agent, is pleased to offer for sale a fully equipped specialty chemicals manufacturing facility at 33 Ayer Merbau Road on Jurong Island.

October 19, 2026 — CBRE, as the exclusive marketing agent, is pleased to offer for sale a fully equipped specialty chemicals manufacturing facility at 33 Ayer Merbau Road on Jurong Island.

The sale will be conducted via private treaty.

Situated on a land parcel of approximately 278,000 sq ft with a remaining land tenure of approximately 13 years until September 2039, the property comprises an open-structure process plant, a single-storey technical building housing the laboratory and control room, and a two-storey office building containing offices, meeting rooms and staff facilities. The site has an existing gross floor area of approximately 25,730 sq ft.

According to the Master Plan, the site is zoned Business 2 with a permissible plot ratio of 1.0, allowing for a potential gross floor area of approximately 278,000 sq ft. Given the site’s existing built-up area, it remains materially underdeveloped relative to its allowable intensity, providing substantial future expansion potential for occupiers and investors seeking long-term growth opportunities.

Located within Jurong Island, Singapore’s premier petrochemical and energy hub, the property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a chemical-use site in a tightly controlled-access industrial cluster where such assets seldom become available. The facility was originally configured for alkoxylation and surfactant production and is well-suited for repurposing across a broad range of high-value chemical, specialty materials and advanced manufacturing applications.

A key differentiator of the asset is that it has been fully decommissioned and decontaminated, with the metallurgy of the equipment preserved. As a result, purchasers can acquire a clean, ready-to-recommission platform without the need for extensive clearing or remediation works typically associated with former chemical processing facilities.

The facility is fully equipped with extensive process and utility infrastructure, including a reactor with jet mixer and heating and cooling systems, post-treatment and filtration tanks, a filter press, bunded nitrogen-blanketed tank farm, boilers, cooling towers, scrubber systems, wastewater storage facilities and ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) chilling systems. The site is also supported by a Tier-1 Distributed Control System (DCS) with full Emergency Shutdown (ESD) interlocks.

In addition, the property benefits from established utility infrastructure, including power supply from the Jurong Island Grid at 22kV/415V with 2MVA capacity, as well as natural gas, NEWater, potable water and fire-water connections. Rooftop solar panels installed across both buildings further enhance the sustainability profile of the facility, while full-perimeter CCTV infrastructure supports operational security.

The existing plant configuration provides purchasers with a ready-built platform that can significantly shorten project lead times compared to greenfield developments. By acquiring an operationally established industrial asset with critical infrastructure already in place, buyers can potentially avoid lengthy feasibility studies, utility allocation processes and construction timelines that would otherwise take years to complete.

The property is approximately an 18-minute drive from Joo Koon, Pioneer and Boon Lay MRT stations, and is strategically positioned within one of Asia’s most important chemical manufacturing ecosystems. Its location on Jurong Island offers close proximity to key energy, petrochemical and specialty chemical operators, supporting supply chain integration and operational efficiencies.

Mr Graeme Bolin, Head of Occupier and Leasing, Industrial & Logistics Services, CBRE, said: “Opportunities to acquire established chemical-use facilities on Jurong Island are exceptionally scarce. 33 Ayer Merbau Road presents a compelling proposition for both owner-occupiers and investors seeking immediate access to Singapore’s premier chemical and energy manufacturing cluster. The property’s existing process infrastructure, utility connections and significant expansion potential offer purchasers a faster route to market compared to developing a new facility from the ground up.”

Mr Bolin added: “The facility’s fully decommissioned and decontaminated status is another key advantage, allowing purchasers to focus on recommissioning and future production plans rather than remediation works. Coupled with its flexibility for multiple specialty chemical applications, the asset is well-positioned to meet growing demand for advanced manufacturing and specialty chemicals capability across the region.”
