Read the figures right

Completion year: the first quarter JTC records a TOP (Temporary Occupation Permit) at this address. JTC lists major industrial projects (7,000 sqm and up) from 2013; where an older building stood on the site, this is the current building's year.

Developer: as named on JTC's completion record, often the project company rather than the listed group.

Approved for a new building: the year URA approved the latest new erection or redevelopment here. An APPROVAL year, not a completion year — never state it as the building's age.

Station taps: average weekday fare-card taps in and out at the nearest MRT/LRT station (LTA DataMall). People passing the station's gates, not people visiting this building.

Season parking: the cheapest URA car season rate (commercial ticket) at a public car park within 500 m, per month. HDB's season rates depend on a zone we don't have, so they are shown as HDB's tiers.

Foot-traffic score: PropKaki's relative score from nearby MRT and bus taps, workers and residents around (and, for retail, competing malls), ranked against buildings of the same kind. A percentile, not a count of people.

Company REGISTRATIONS at this address (ACRA), not a tenancy schedule. Registration does not mean the company physically occupies space here, and a low count does not mean the building is empty. Do not describe this as occupancy or vacancy.

Unbuilt GFA cannot be computed here — it needs BCA built-GFA, which covers about 5% of commercial buildings and no industrial ones. Zoning and plot ratio are on record; headroom is not.

Median across 2000Q1-2026Q2 — an all-time level, NOT a current rent. Quote the latest quarter for "what does it rent for now".
