A corner HDB shophouse with a rare Cat-1 spa licence and a signed tenancy — income from day one, no GST, in a Kallang catchment of ~101,000 residents.
Indicative only — confirm stamp duty, GST & apportionment with your lawyer / IRAS.

Passing rent on a signed lease (Jun 2026–Jun 2029). Gross yield on the guide price; net is after property tax (~S$10,581/yr) and any outgoings. Confirm the lease and licence terms in due diligence.
Yield basis (CEA): gross yield = annual rent as stated above (passing or projected, per the stated basis) ÷ the stated asking price; net yield is after property tax (a flat 10% of Annual Value), MCST/service charge and outgoings. These are historical/indicative, not a forecast or a guarantee of return — verify the tenancy and the IRAS Annual Value independently before relying on them.
Cat-1 licences are tightly controlled and rarely available — the unit comes with one in place, with a tenant already operating on a signed lease.
A corner shophouse with two faces to the street — more visibility and footfall than a mid-terrace unit, in a catchment of ~101,000 residents.
An HDB shophouse, so no GST on the purchase; the signed tenancy means it earns from day one rather than needing to be leased up.

Actual HDB-shophouse sale caveats on Upper Boon Keng Rd and nearby (HDB.sgshophouses.com — verify). Treat these as a REFERENCE, not a like-for-like valuation: shophouses vary widely by exact location, frontage and footfall — a corner, dual-frontage unit on a busy stretch (as here) commands more than a mid-terrace one, even on the same road. Same-street sales have transacted around S$1.8–1.95M; the guide here carries a premium for the corner position, the footfall, and the signed lease + Cat-1 licence — an income play that leans back toward these on non-renewal.
A signed lease and a hard-to-replicate licence carry the income. What would it take to build that from a vacant unit — and how long?
A corner HDB shophouse is uncommon; one with an in-place Cat-1 spa licence more so. When does the next comparable one come to market?

This is an income-and-licence story, not a land play — I'll set out the passing rent, the licence and lease runway, and the honest premium-to-sale-comps so you buy with eyes open.
