Public housing plays an essential role in Singapore’s urban living, with HDB estates accommodating more than 80% of the country’s residents.
However, many early-built residential buildings are now facing challenges caused by aging elevator systems, including unstable operation,frequent breakdowns, and inefficient waiting times during peak hours. These issues have created mobility challenges, especially for elderly residents and people with limited mobility.

To address these needs, the Housing & Development Board (HDB) launched the Lift Upgrading Programme (LUP), a key urban renewal initiative designed to provide direct lift access to every floor in older HDB blocks.
IFE Elevator has been deeply involved in this programme for years, and the latest contract renewal once again demonstrates customers’ confidence in IFE’s reliable solutions and service capabilities.

IFE Elevator has once again secured a contract with Holland-Bukit Panjang Town Council in Singapore, delivering 75 elevators for the HDB lift upgrading project.
This renewed partnership represents more than the delivery of elevator equipment. It reflects a long-term commitment to improving urban living environments and supporting the future development of Singapore’s communities.
To overcome key challenges of aging elevators, including frequent failures, uncomfortable rides, high energy consumption, and inefficient traffic management, IFE Elevator developed customized upgrading solutions tailored to existing HDB environments.
Equipped with the upgraded 71 intelligent control system, the elevators achieve more precise and intelligent dispatching, helping improve passenger flow efficiency during morning and evening peak periods.
Optimized operation curves provide smoother acceleration and deceleration, creating a more comfortable riding experience.
At the same time, upgraded energy-saving configurations help reduce overall public energy consumption and improve operational efficiency.

Throughout the upgrading process, IFE applies comprehensive project management and refined construction planning.
By optimizing installation procedures, controlling noise levels, and minimizing construction impact, IFE ensures that residents experience minimal disruption while maintaining project efficiency and quality.
As early as 2025, IFE Elevator successfully delivered 25 upgraded elevators for Holland-Bukit Panjang Town Council.
Through efficient project execution, standardized installation quality, and comprehensive after-sales operation and maintenance services, IFE earned strong recognition from the local authority.
With years of experience in the Singapore market, IFE Elevator has actively participated in 18 phases of HDB housing development projects and has delivered more than 10,000 elevators across Singapore.
By becoming deeply integrated into local communities, IFE has established itself as a trusted partner in municipal elevator upgrading projects.

From thousands of elevators serving Singapore communities to securing multiple upgrading projects from the same town council, IFE Elevator continues to focus on the real mobility needs of overseas residents.
Through customized solutions, deep understanding of local regulations and usage habits, and full-process closed-loop services, IFE provides reliable elevator solutions that improve everyday life.
Every smoothly operating elevator represents a visible achievement of China’s intelligent manufacturing capabilities and a commitment to creating safer, more convenient urban mobility worldwide.
