Key takeawayNo rent is published for Primax itself. On its street, New Industrial Road, strata factory space rented at a median of $2.84 psf a month in 2026Q3. That is not this building's own rent, and never a quote for a particular unit.

Indicative street yield

4.6% gross

4.1% net of property tax

An INDICATIVE street-level yield, not a yield for any particular unit: the current-quarter JTC street rent divided by the street's strata sale PSF median.

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

Street figures cover strata deals only — land and strata PSF are not comparable.

Read the figures right

Completion year: as EdgeProp states it, not checked against an official record. Sales records start in 1995, which says nothing about when a building was built.

Total units: the strata units in the building's MCST (BCA's register) — strata lots, not tenancies; a single-owner building can be one lot. Units with a recorded sale (URA caveats) are a separate figure.

Strata lots: the lot count in the development's MCST (BCA's register) — the whole development, homes included where it is mixed; a single-owner mall or tower can be one lot.

Strata formed: the year the MCST was set up (BCA's register). NOT the year the building was completed — an MCST forms after TOP, sometimes years later. Never state it as the building's age.

Managing agent: as BCA's MCST register names it; it can change between register updates.

Changes of use: URA planning approvals recorded at this building since 2000 (any unit; renewals of a temporary permission not counted). History only — Past approvals are not today's approved use; check with URA's approved-use enquiry before signing. Never say a use is allowed, permitted or approved for a unit, and never say a use would be approved.

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".
