The Reserve is a renovated facility built for vaulting, in the Changi Business Park area in Singapore. The renovation was completed in phases during 2024. It was originally occupied by Tyco Electronics, now known as TE Connectivity.
It has a gross floor area of 180,000 square feet, comprising six levels. The main area is a vault featuring 30 meter high ceiling clearance, with capacity to store 10,000 metric tons of silver.
The building also contains 15 UL (Underwriters Laboratories) rated Class II vaults designed to store more highly valued items that require less volumetric space such as gold, platinum, palladium and fine art. Bloomberg mentions that the facility can store 500 tons of gold[1] It was also mentioned in the Singapore based daily newspaper called The Business Times as a place where wealthy individuals store their gold.[2]
Aside from storing physical precious metals, a watch vault is also being constructed there to store luxury watches for safekeeping and collateralizing.
The Reserve is oftentimes compared with the facility Le Freeport which is found in the Changi North region, several kilometers away. Both buildings are in the vicinity of Changi Airport.
The Economist cites in its October 22, 2024 article that The Reserve is housing more than USD 1 billion worth of precious metals.[3][4]
Quartz mentions that the global elite like to store their wealth in jurisdictions as Singapore and New Zealand.[5]
