Observed medians on the street span S$0.46 to S$3.00 psf per month. These are street-level figures from undated JTC snapshots, not a rent quoted for this property.

Read the figures right

Year of completion is not on record for this building. Building age cannot be stated.

Owner: the REIT or SGX-listed company whose latest valuation notice or annual report lists this building (a later divestment removes it). '(N% interest)' or '(part of the strata)' when it holds less than the whole. A building with no listed owner shows none — a private owner is never named.

Net lettable area: as the owner's latest annual report prints it (sq m converted to sq ft where needed).

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.
