Completed in October 2013, K&S Corporate Headquarters was developed by MIT as a build-to-suit (BTS) project to meet the existing and expansion needs of K&S. The five-storey high-specification industrial building with a net lettable area of 285,500 square feet serves as the new global headquarters for K&S in Singapore. The customised building comprises facilities for manufacturing, research and development and a corporate office. K&S occupies 69% of the net lettable area for a 10-year lease term with the option to renew for two additional 10-year terms.
The grand opening of K&S Corporate Headquarters underscores MIT’s growing focus on offering BTS solutions. Other BTS projects in MIT’s portfolio included a flagship data centre for Tata Communications International Pte. Ltd at Paya Lebar iPark completed in April 2010.
