The Safe House Announces Phase 2 Expansion: 2,000 Tons of New Gold Vaulting Capacity in Singapore

PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
27 October 2025


Singapore, October 27, 2025 — The Reserve and The Safe House SG Pte Ltd today announced plans, and are gathering expression of interest, for a major vaulting capacity expansion comprising an additional 23 new Underwriters Laboratories class 2 grade vaults that will increase by an aggregate 2,000 metric tons of new gold-vaulting capacity within The Reserve facility in Singapore.

The development will quintuple total storage capacity from 500 tons to 2,500 tons across 38 vaults in total, reinforcing Singapore’s position as a high-capacity vaulting jurisdictions for institutional and sovereign precious metal custody.

The phase 2 expansion incorporates our third-generation vault design, optimized for the long-term bulk storage, testing, collateralizing and tamper evident traceability of kilobars and 400 oz LBMA Good Delivery gold bars.

Key features include:

• Client Presence Access Control (CPAC): Vault access requires the physical or remote presence of the client’s authorised representative, ensuring full client participation and consent for every entry.
• Non-Destructive Testing (DUX): An ISO 9001 professionalised bullion-testing platform advancing toward ISO 17025 and ISO 27001 certification.
• Comprehensive Insurance Coverage: Multi-billion-dollar Lloyd’s of London insurance protection covering theft, infidelity, and Mysterious Disappearance.
• Systemic Independence: All infrastructure and data systems operate locally and under Singapore jurisdiction, independent of foreign networks or banking systems, ensuring continuity even during global disruptions.

“Phase 2 was structurally anticipated when we designed the first stage of The Reserve five years ago,” said Gregor Gregersen, Founder and Director of The Safe House and The Reserve. “This expansion is our next step toward building vaulting infrastructure that remains operational and sovereignly independent, regardless of what happens in the wider financial system.”

Architectural Vision – “Rock and Light”

Designed in collaboration with Monolab Studio, Phase 2 introduces the “Rock and Light” architectural concept — a brutalist synthesis of mass, light, and security. Constructed from over 800 tons of UL Class 2 composite vault panels, the vault area’s 11-meter ceiling height allow unused vertical volume to be transformed into a dramatic architectural expression of solidity and trust.

A Strategic Step for Singapore’s Precious-Metals Ecosystem

The expansion underscores Singapore’s emergence as a neutral, systemically independent hub for global gold and silver reserves. The Reserve aims to provide the next generation of long-term, high capacity, custodial infrastructure for central banks, Institutions, and family offices.
