JTC moved into the development of business parks in response to emerging industries and businesses dedicated to technology and value-added knowledge-based activities. Business Parks enable companies to operate in a highly-conducive, landscaped environment with lush greenery, abundant open space and easy access to public transportation and security coverage. This unique ambience is not only suited to creative work and innovation, it gives businesses an edge when recruiting and retaining professionals and highly-skilled technical staff. JTC has developed two Business Parks – International Business Park (IBP) in the West and Changi Business Park (CBP) in the East. When fully developed, the Business Parks will provide employment for about 35,000 skilled workers, helping to position Singapore as Asia’s leading centre for business and technology.
