Mapletree offers built-to-suit arrangements (BTS) as a value-added service for clients. Under this scheme, Mapletree builds a new facility to a customer's specifications. The customer then occupies the facility over a long-term lease at a pre-agreed rental. These companies can enjoy a custom-built facility without the hassle of managing its construction while benefiting from stable rental rates; and are able to to retain operational flexibility and achieve better financial management.

In 2008, Mapletree completed its first BTS premium office building, Bank of America Merrill Lynch HarbourFront. With net lettable space of 200,000 sq ft, the six-storey office building is fully leased to Bank of America Merrill Lynch on a long term lease and houses the Bank’s global support centre for private banking and global markets businesses.

In 2009, Mapletree was commissioned to develop Tata Communications Exchange, a custom-built 170,000 sq ft world-class data centre. Completed in 2010, the US$180million facility is integrated with Tata Communications’ high capacity Tier-1 network, enabling the company to deliver co-location, managed hosting, managed storage and value-added services to meet the current and future IT infrastructure services demands of its global customers. The building’s sustainable features have also won the prestigious Leadership in Energy Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Award 2010 and Green Mark Gold Award 2009 by the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore.

Overseas in 2011, Mapletree commenced construction of the 10-ha Odawara Centre 1, a distribution centre in Kanagawa Prefecture of Japan with ITOCHU Japan.

More recently, Mapletree has partnered Kulicke & Soffa (K&S) in the development for its global headquarters in Singapore. The five-storey light industrial building will give a gross floor area of 30,800 sqm and feature facilities for production, research and development as well as K&S’s corporate office.
