One-North is an ongoing 200-hectare business park development by JTC Corporation to house R&D and high technology activities in the biomedical sciences, infocomm technology (ICT) and media industries in Singapore.
Though the development was first conceptualised in the National Technology Plan 1991, it was only launched officially in 2001 with the basis of creating a “global talent hub” and a knowledge-based economy, a move to complement the manufacturing and service economies of Singapore.
One-North, is located at Buona Vista and near educational and research institutes like National University of Singapore (NUS), INSEAD and the Singapore Science Parks.
Besides being a “science hub”, another aim is to create a socially integrated community where both expatriates and locals can gather to live, work and relax together.
