URA has not published a fixed plot ratio for this site — the Master Plan records "EVA" (Subject to Evaluation), meaning intensity is decided case by case on application. Do not quote a plot ratio, and do not compute buildable GFA from it.

BCA-verified envelope: built 28,938 sqm. This block appears only where BCA has published the actual built floor area — everywhere else, buildable headroom cannot be verified and is deliberately not estimated.

What has Kinex sold for?

Key takeaway1 transaction is on record since 1995, most recently in Sept 2025 — too few to support a median, so the deals themselves are listed instead.

What does space at Kinex rent for?

Key takeawayNo rent is published for Kinex itself. On its street, Tanjong Katong Road, retail space rented at a median of $8.73 psf a month in 2026Q3, with the middle half of leases between $7.04 and $12.21. That is not this building's own rent, and never a quote for a particular unit.

URA's percentiles of RETAIL rents (shop, F&B, entertainment, health & fitness) across every lease stamped with IRAS on this STREET in the quarter — the street's figure, not this building's rent and never a unit's. Retail rent swings with floor and frontage, so the spread matters as much as the median. A median needs at least 2 buildings and 3 contracts (percentiles need 4); a blank means below that threshold, not zero.

What do commercial rents run near Kinex?

Key takeawayURA publishes contracted-rent percentile grids quarterly (latest: 2026Q3) — the benchmark evidence an asking rent should be weighed against.

Indicative area yield — District 15 retail

Gross yield (area)
3.7%
3.3% net of property tax
Rent side (median of bands)
$98.41 psm/mo
2026Q3
Price side (strata, 5y)
$2,956 psf
85 sales

An INDICATIVE AREA yield for District 15 retail — NOT this building's yield, and not any unit's. Commercial rents are published as a district percentile grid, so both halves describe the district.

Priced on STRATA sales only: rent is quoted per unit of lettable area, and commercial land PSF runs far above strata — mixing them would shift the ratio sharply.

Net deducts the 10% non-residential property tax ONLY — not vacancy, maintenance, agent fees, financing, or the 9% GST on purchase.
