The Jam Factory Redevelopment aims to create a world-class mixed-use precinct featuring destination retail, dining, a multi-screen cinema, health and well-being services, unique office spaces, high-end residences, and a 5-star hotel. The design emphasizes permeability, integrating open-air streets and lanes, with a focus on heritage preservation and a vibrant public space.
The primary objective is to transform the Jam Factory site into a dynamic and accessible precinct that integrates commercial, residential, and leisure spaces.
