Checks by AsiaOne indicate that it is the registered address of Nam San Industrial Wood Pte Ltd, a company involved in timber, vinyl and laminate flooring works.
In response to AsiaOne's queries the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said the fire involved wooden materials on the first floor of a building at the address.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze using two water jets, and there were no reported injuries in the incident.
The police told AsiaOne that they are also investigating the matter, in addition to ongoing fire investigations.
This is the second reported case of fire in two days at the industrial area.
On Tuesday, AsiaOne reported on the first fire at 56 Sungei Kadut Drive, which belongs to a company undergoing liquidation.
This is about 1.5km away from the fire on Wednesday.
Workers in the area told AsiaOne that the premises at 56 Sungei Kadut Drive is largely quiet due to the ongoing winding up process.
In an updated statement to AsiaOne on Thursday, SCDF said its preliminary investigations into the two fires indicate that they were "deliberately started".
It added that police investigations into the two fires are ongoing.
A separate statement issued to AsiaOne by JTC Corporation, which overseas planning and development in Sungei Kadut, said it is "working closely" with SCDF and the police on their investigations, as well as enhancing security provisions in the area.
"Existing companies in Sungei Kadut have been reminded to stay vigilant and report any unusual activities to SPF," JTC added.
JTC plans to redevelop Sungei Kadut into Sungei Kadut Eco-District to catalyse economic restructuring and industry transformation.
It is recovering sites in the area as their leases expire and carrying out demolition works progressively.
