Boon Lay

Named after Chew Boon Lay, a famous landowner in the late 19th century, Boon Lay district was inundated with his rubber plantations when it was just a wasted swampy jungle. Later, with its first factory, the National Iron and Steel Mills, it turned into Singapore’s first industrial estate.

There are many factories in this area and some old factories are under plans for redevelopment for transformation to modern high-density factories. The world’s largest chocolate company, Barry Callebaut, can be found here.

Currently, the latest HDB offerings are Boon Lay Meadow where a total of 705 flat units are up for grabs, whilst more residential projects are being planned in this area.
