About The Faceshop

The Faceshop is an industrial building in Kallang (District 12). It is located along Kallang Bahru, Singapore 339338.

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 5 years left to run. A tail that short materially narrows the pool of banks willing to finance a purchase. It sits on about 4,202 sqm of land with roughly 10,505 sqm of gross floor area.

2 transactions have been recorded here, at a median of S$196 psf. The most recent was in January 2013.

Across JTC's rental returns for Kallang Bahru, the median rent for industrial space on this street works out to about S$3.50 psf per month over 13 observations. Observed medians on the street span S$2.72 to S$4.00 psf per month. These are street-level figures from undated JTC snapshots, not a rent quoted for this property.

The nearest port or airport land is about 5.1 km away. The closest business-park zone is about 3.4 km away. The nearest MRT is Boon Keng MRT, 489 m away (about a 8-minute walk). The closest bus stop (Blk 16) is 60 m away (about a 1-minute walk).

What has The Faceshop sold for?

Key takeaway2 transactions are on record since 1995, most recently in Jan 2013 — too few to support a median, so the deals themselves are listed instead.

Date	Use	Price	Area	PSF
Jan 2013	Single-user Factory	S$13.75M	45,224 sqft	$304
Jun 2009	Single-user Factory	S$4.00M	45,224 sqft	$88

Read the figures right

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

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.

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.
