Description
- It is a modern industrial park that promotes urban manufacturing.
- It was formerly a naval shipbuilding facility.
- The Yard is divided into 3 development sites. Each site would have manufacturing facilities, amenities for tenants, and a public realm connecting the area.
- The site has retained its industrial land use.
- The site consists of 75 % manufacturing, 20% creative industries and 5% amenities.
- Public amenities such as a supermarket are being introduced to better connect the area to its surroundings while also maintaining the industrial activities.
- New land uses would be introduced along perimeter adjacent to city. This would help connect it with the surroundings.
- The site aims to create a vertical manufacturing campus to maintain affordability in the city.
- The buildings employ vertical zoning.
- The ground floors would have large-scale industries as well as retail and amenities. They would be transparent to showcase the work occurring inside.
- The intermediate floors would have small-medium scale businesses.
- The upper floors would have creative spaces, offices and research areas.
- Some historic buildings were restored for use as manufacturing and office buildings.
- The area has retained perimeter walls to ensure 24/7 security for the industrial tenants.
