About Nova Building

Nova Building is an industrial building in Geylang (District 13). It is located along Kallang Way, Singapore 349216.

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 22 years left to run. A tail that short materially narrows the pool of banks willing to finance a purchase. It sits on about 4,763 sqm of land with roughly 11,906 sqm of gross floor area.

Observed medians on the street span S$1.31 to S$4.35 psf per month. These are street-level figures from undated JTC snapshots, not a rent quoted for this property.
