No recorded transactions — this building has never generated a strata caveat (typically single-owner or lease-only stock). That is not missing data, and it says nothing about the building's value, occupancy or availability.

Source: the owners' own filings on SGX — notices of valuation of real assets, acquisition and divestment announcements, and annual reports. Facts only, each with its date; a valuation is not a sale price, and occupancy and WALE are as of the date shown. Only REITs and SGX-listed companies file these: a building with a private owner shows no owner here.

World Publications Building is an industrial building in Geylang (District 14). It is located along Ubi Road 1, Singapore 408695.

Under the URA Master Plan the site is zoned Business 2 with a gross plot ratio of 2.5. 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. It sits on about 5,136 sqm of land with roughly 12,839 sqm of gross floor area.

Across JTC's rental returns for Ubi Road 1, the median rent for industrial space on this street works out to about S$2.09 psf per month over 85 observations. Observed medians on the street span S$1.00 to S$3.01 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 7.1 km away. The closest business-park zone is about 1.3 km away. The nearest MRT is Macpherson MRT, 376 m away (about a 6-minute walk). The closest bus stop (Traffic Police) is 159 m away (about a 2-minute walk).

42 businesses are currently registered at this address with ACRA.

Source: URA planning decisions (URA Data Service), matched to this building by address or land lot. A past approval can lapse (a temporary permission) and belongs to the unit it names. The authoritative approved use of a unit comes from URA's Enquiry on Approved Use of Premises (S$54.50 per unit).

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.
