JTC Industrial Property
For investors looking past residential. Singapore industrial property has higher yields, no ABSD, no SSD-equivalent, but distinct tenure, regulatory, and tenant-risk profiles. This is a different game.
Why investors look here
- Yield: 5-7% gross typical, vs 2.8-3.9% residential
- No ABSD, buy under personal name or company without 60% foreign-buyer hit
- No SSD, exit without seller stamp duty
- Lower entry, strata-titled units from S$400k for B1 light-industrial
- Long lease tail, JTC 60-year tenures with renewal mechanics
What you give up vs residential
- Tenant risk concentration, single business tenant, defaults are existential
- Specialised use, not all uses allowed in B1/B2 zoning; check JTC change-of-use rules
- Foreign buyer restrictions, JTC tenure has nationality requirements
- Anchor-tenant dependency, if your B-park anchor leaves, vacancy risk spikes
- Liquidity, exit market is narrower than residential
What I help with
- Strata vs whole-building assessment by use case
- JTC tenure mechanics (3+3+3, 30+30, freehold etc) by location
- Yield comparisons across Tuas/Kallang/Tai Seng/Changi/Loyang
- B1 vs B2 vs business-park use-case fit for your tenant profile
- Tax structure (personal vs Pte Ltd vs trust)
