Dyson has chosen the iconic St James Power Station to be the address for its new global headquarters in Singapore. The new HQ will include research laboratories and enable the company to double its pool of engineers and scientists in Singapore over the next five years. 

Dyson has announced earlier this year that it will be moving its HQ out of the United Kingdom to Asia. 

Located near VivoCity, St James Power Station is most remembered as a nightlife hot spot until it ceased operations in September last year. Mapletree will work in partnership with Dyson for restoration of St James Power Station and upgrading of facilities.

Dyson already manufactures electric motors for its other products, such as vacuum cleaners and fans, in Singapore, where it employs 1,100 people. Employee numbers in Singapore will more than double after it completes the new electric car plant.

The company will break ground on its new factory in Singapore later this year with the first car scheduled to roll off the production line in 2021.
