one-north is a subzone and business park located in Queenstown, Singapore. The park was developed by JTC Corporation for the R&D and high technology cluster, comprising biomedical sciences, infocomm technology and media industries.

In 2012, ESSEC Business School also set up its Asian campus in one-north, for a total investment of S$40 million.
