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.

2 transactions have been recorded here, at a median of S$376 psf. The most recent was in August 2011.

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.

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.
