Soon Hock is a specialized developer of industrial properties operating in Singapore, with a successful track record of developing assets valued at over S$1.0 billion.
The company’s journey in property development began in the 1980s when it opted to create its own warehousing facilities to meet operational requirements. The initial projects were completed at 29 and 31 Penjuru Lane, with their completion dates in 1991 and 1993, respectively.
Under the leadership of Tan Yeow Khoon, who has more than 50 years of experience in logistics and transportation management services, Soon Hock has established itself as a significant player in the industrial property sector.
On October 16, 2025, Soon Hock was listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange. The founder’s family remains the largest shareholder, holding a stake of 70.2%.
The group operates exclusively within Singapore, adhering to policies and industrial zoning regulations set by Jurong Town Corporation (JTC). This regulatory framework creates substantial barriers for new entrants while curbing speculative land banking practices.
Industrial Developments in Strategic Locations
Soon Hock strategically situates its properties within established industrial estates such as Kaki Bukit and Jalan Papan. These locations provide convenient access to major expressways and transport hubs. This strategic placement is intended to attract end-users who prioritize connectivity, efficiency, and proximity to labor forces and supply chains. As a result, these factors enhance leasing attractiveness and potential capital appreciation.
Proven Management Expertise
Mr. Tan Yeow Khoon commenced his entrepreneurial journey in the 1960s and has been instrumental in transforming Singapore into a regional logistics hub. His extensive background as an end-user of industrial properties includes his role as Executive Chairman at Cogent Holdings Limited—a logistics service provider in Singapore formerly listed on SGX Mainboard—which was sold for S$490 million cash to COSCO Shipping International (Singapore) Co., Ltd., leading to its delisting from the exchange.
With an intimate understanding of user needs, management adopts a user-centric development approach characterized by innovative design principles that improve functionality—incorporating features such as wide driveways, ramps, and open or minimally columned spaces across most industrial projects.
Under Mr. Tan’s guidance, Soon Hock has introduced more than 1,200 units of strata-titled industrial properties through various initiatives across Singapore. Between 2011 and 2019 alone, eight fully sold industrial developments were completed by the group.
Building on strengths in capital investment, construction capability, and effective management controls, Soon Hock aims to position itself as a premier developer within Singapore’s industrial property landscape.
Business Segments: Development & Investment
Soon Hock operates two primary business segments: property development and property investment. The focus lies on multi-user strata industrial developments with an extensive pipeline currently under construction that also allows for reinvestment into new land acquisitions.
