KNOWLEDGE

Industrial property,
decoded.

Practical starting points for occupiers, buyers and owners navigating Singapore's specialised industrial market.

01

B1 vs B2 industrial property

A plain-English introduction to the distinction and why your actual business activity matters. Always verify the specific proposed use and premises with the relevant authorities before commitment.

02

Understanding industrial usage

Why permitted use and planning requirements should be checked before committing to a property.

03

Buying vs renting industrial space

Compare flexibility, capital commitment, tenure and operational considerations.

04

Industrial property viewing checklist

Look beyond floor area: loading, access, power, floor loading, ceiling height and building rules can all matter.

05

Buying a shorter-lease industrial property

Remaining land tenure can materially affect financing, resale audience and long-term value. Compare the property against your intended holding period and use.

06

Taking over an existing fit-out

Clarify exactly what remains, the condition accepted, reinstatement obligations and whether any arrangement with the outgoing occupier is separate from the lease.

Guides are general information only. Property suitability and regulatory requirements should be verified for the specific premises and intended use.
