Hock Lian Seng Group is a Singapore construction and property group that has been building the nation's infrastructure since 1969, when it was established as a construction company with a focus on infrastructure projects. Its head office sits at #16-08 Parkway Parade on Marine Parade Road, while its work is spread across the island in the form of MRT stations, depots, expressway sections, industrial developments and residential projects.
The group's core business activities span Civil Engineering & Construction, Building Construction, Property Development and Investment, supported by services such as Infrastructure Engineering and Equipment & Leasing. In December 2009 the company converted into a public limited company, Hock Lian Seng Holdings Limited, and was listed on the SGX Mainboard on 21 December 2009, with the listed entity's principal activity being investment holding.
Its project track record includes the construction and completion of Marina Bay Station with associated tunnels for Downtown Line Stage 1, the Marina Wharf section of the Marina Coastal Expressway, Maxwell Station, and the Kim Chuan and Gali Batu depots, alongside developments such as The Skywoods, Ark @ Gambas and the SHINE @ Tuas South B2 industrial development. The company cites execution and prompt delivery as its forte, with a pledge to quality and safety underscored by ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certifications, and its newest plan is a Green Mark Platinum-targeted, eight-storey multi-user B2 factory development at Pioneer Road.
Some of the structures that keep Singapore moving — MRT stations, train depots, stretches of expressway — carry the quiet imprint of Hock Lian Seng, a construction group that has been at work on the island since 1969. The company's head office sits high above Marine Parade Road at #16-08 Parkway Parade, but its output is spread far and wide: rail stations and their tunnels, expressway sections, industrial developments and residential projects.
Hock Lian Seng was established in Singapore in 1969 as a construction company with a focus on infrastructure projects. That early specialisation set the tone for the decades that followed, as the firm grew alongside the nation's own build-out of roads, rail and industrial land.
A defining milestone came in late 2009. The company converted into a public limited company under the name Hock Lian Seng Holdings Limited on 3 December 2009, and just over two weeks later, on 21 December 2009, its shares were listed on the SGX Mainboard. Today the listed entity's principal activity is investment holding, and as a Group it manages a set of core business activities: Civil Engineering & Construction, Building Construction, Property Development and Investment.
The group's project track record reads like a cross-section of Singapore's transit history. It undertook the construction and completion of Marina Bay Station, including associated tunnels, for Downtown Line Stage 1 under contract C901 — one of the signature entries in its project gallery. Under contract C481, it handled the design, construction and completion of the Marina Coastal Expressway's Marina Wharf section.
Rail infrastructure features prominently elsewhere too: Maxwell Station appears in the gallery alongside two major depot projects, Kim Chuan Depot and Gali Batu Depot, the kind of large-scale, behind-the-scenes works that keep a metro network running.
The group's building portfolio extends beyond heavy civil works. The Skywoods represents its residential development activity, while Ark @ Gambas and the SHINE @ Tuas South B2 industrial development show its strength in industrial property. The group also owns the Hock Lian Seng Warehouse at 4 Tampines Industrial Drive, a holding within its investment portfolio.
Execution and prompt delivery of construction projects are described by the company as its forte, but Hock Lian Seng presents itself as an all-rounded business rather than a pure contractor. From conception to completion, it commits to excelling across a broad spectrum of related services, with key offerings listed as Infrastructure Engineering Services and Equipment & Leasing Services.
The company describes its work methodology and attitude as thorough and meticulous, with a deep-seated pledge to quality and safety — a stance reflected in the ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certification badges displayed on its website. For clients, that combination of infrastructure experience and process discipline is the core of the group's proposition.
Recent activity offers a hint of where the group is heading. On 28 August 2025, Hock Lian Seng successfully tendered for an iGLS plot at Pioneer Road, where it intends to develop an eight-storey, ramped-up, multi-user B2 factory development with approximately 270 units for sale and lease. Notably, the planned development is designed to achieve a Green Mark Platinum super-low energy rating — a clear signal of sustainability ambitions running through its industrial pipeline.
The head office is at 80 Marine Parade Road, #16-08 Parkway Parade, Singapore 449269. This is a corporate office rather than a walk-in retail space, so it makes sense to call ahead on (65) 6344 0555, fax (65) 6440 9049, or email info@hlsgroup.com.sg. Investors and shareholders can follow the SGX Mainboard-listed group through its dedicated investor relations page, while those scoping out the company for tenders or partnerships will find its full project gallery and track record on the Projects section of its website.
