Under the URA Master Plan the site is zoned Business 2 with a gross plot ratio of 3.7. Business 2 zoning covers general industry with a nuisance buffer of 100 m, including heavier trades.

The site is leasehold, with about 0 years left to run. A tail that short materially narrows the pool of banks willing to finance a purchase.
