JTC Industrial Land Tender (IGLS) 2026: Winning Bid Strategy & 1H2026 Site Analysis

1H2026 Market Summary:

• The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) has launched 11.1 hectares of industrial land for the first half of 2026 across eight sites. While this is a slight reduction from 2025, the 1H2026 supply remains strategic, focusing on high-demand zones like Jalan Buroh and Kaki Bukit. With industrial rents having risen for 20 consecutive quarters (up 2.3% Y-o-Y as of late 2025), competition for these sites is expected to be intense.

Bid Competitiveness & Historical Benchmarks

• Multiple-User High: The Penjuru Road site (food development) received 3 bids with a top bid of $1,677 psm ppr in Dec 2025.

• Single-User Benchmarks: The Tuas Bay Drive site was awarded at $551 psm ppr in Oct 2025.

• Market Insight: Competitive bidding continues to demonstrate strong interest in multiple-user development sites, particularly in the West region.

The New 3-Year Lease Extension Policy

• As of March 2025, JTC grants an additional three-year lease for all new IGLS sites. This provides industrialists with greater long-term stability—a key point for your bid justification.

2026-2027 Supply Pipeline

• 2026 Supply: 1.0 million sqm of new industrial space is expected.

• 2027 Supply: A significant jump to 1.6 million sqm is projected.

• Composition: About 53% of 2026 supply is for Single-User Factory space, making multiple-user tenders highly competitive.

What is the "Concept & Price" tender for JTC land?

• For certain strategic sites, JTC uses a two-envelope system where the "Concept" (business plan, productivity, and sustainability) is evaluated before the "Price." AFM specializes in drafting the first-envelope Concept proposal to ensure you qualify for the price evaluation.

How does the 60:40 rule apply to new land tenders?

• Successful tenderers must ensure at least 60% of the Gross Floor Area (GFA) is dedicated to core industrial activities, while ancillary uses (offices, showrooms) are capped at 40%.

Is solar panel installation mandatory for 2026 JTC tenders?

• Yes, all new IGLS sites are typically required to maximize solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment on available roof space as part of JTC's sustainability mandates.
