42 Units, 8 Storeys, One Site

Specifications can look dry, yet a handful of figures tell a food operator a good deal about how a building will feel to work in. These are the numbers Harrison Food Building publishes about itself, and what each one suggests for a user. Think of this as a reading guide for the Harrison Food Building project, not a verdict on it: a figure only means something once you hold it up against your own operation, whether that is a central kitchen, a packing line or a small-batch producer.

1. 42 strata production units, plus one canteen. The unit count is modest. Spread across the building it works out at about five units a floor on average, so you would share each level with only a few neighbours rather than dozens. Whether that suits you depends on how much passing traffic and noise your operation can tolerate, and on whether you value a quiet floor over a busy one. A smaller community of occupiers can also make it easier to agree on shared matters such as lift use at peak hours.
2. 8 storeys. Food production leans heavily on moving goods up and down. The project describes a full vehicular ramp serving every floor, and that matters more than the storey count itself: a truck can reach the level where your unit sits, which affects how you plan deliveries and dispatch. Eight levels also mean that upper-floor units are further from ground, so decide early how much of your day involves moving stock and how often. Ask for the ramp arrangement to be shown to you in person.
3. About 27,583 sq ft of land. This is the footprint the whole building stands on. A site of this size is compact, so ground-level space for manoeuvring is finite, and a tenant with heavy vehicle movements should think about timing deliveries rather than assuming unlimited room. If your business receives large inbound loads at fixed hours, raise that with the team at your viewing so you can see how it would work in practice.
4. Freehold tenure. The building is freehold, so the ownership period carries no lease clock. For an occupier planning a fit-out, that removes one question from the budget conversation, though it does not replace proper advice on your own circumstances.
5. Estimated TOP in 2028. This is an estimate, and timelines can move. If you are working backwards from a production start date, build slack into your plan and confirm progress directly with the developer.

The developer is Powermatic Data Systems, and the address is 7 and 9 Harrison Road in Tai Seng, about a five-minute walk from Tai Seng MRT (CC11). You can see how the building relates to its surroundings on the Harrison Food Building location page.

None of these figures settles a purchase on its own. They are a starting checklist for a viewing: which floor, how many neighbours, how the ramp works, and when the keys might arrive. If you would like to walk through them with someone, contact the Harrison Food Building team.
