About East Building

East Building is an industrial building in Bukit Merah (District 03). It is located along Kung Chong Road, Singapore 159140.

Under the URA Master Plan the site is zoned Business 1 with a gross plot ratio of 2.5. Business 1 zoning covers clean and light industry with a nuisance buffer of 50 m.

The site is leasehold, with about 28 years left to run. A tail that short materially narrows the pool of banks willing to finance a purchase. It sits on about 2,676 sqm of land with roughly 7,170 sqm of gross floor area.

2 transactions have been recorded here, at a median of S$272 psf. The most recent was in August 2003.

Across JTC's rental returns for Kung Chong Road, the median rent for industrial space on this street works out to about S$3.00 psf per month over 3 observations. Observed medians on the street span S$3.00 to S$3.07 psf per month. These are street-level figures from undated JTC snapshots, not a rent quoted for this property.

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.

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".

Storeys: from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors), volunteer-mapped, not an official record. Shown only because no official or listed floor count is held for this building.
