URA transactions in Sim Lim Tower as shown on EdgeProp (checked 20 Oct 2026; verify on URA REALIS). Largest units first, then the latest office sales. There is no sale of a floor this size in the last four years, and small units trade at a different psf from a whole floor, so treat these as a REFERENCE, not a valuation.

Stamp-duty estimator

Commercial sales attract GST when the seller is GST-registered. Confirm the seller's status and whether you can claim it back.

On a mixed shophouse we'd value the residential floor from live URA residential comps to estimate ABSD (20–65%). Here it's zero.

How to read this. The line in the middle is the Singapore average, set to 100. A bar to the right means more of that age group live in this area than the national share (idx 113 means 13% more); a bar to the left means fewer (idx 78 means 22% fewer). The percentage is that group's share of local residents. Residents are not the same as the people who would visit or work here, and the figures are from Census 2020.

~0% of Rochor households span 3 or more generations (indicative — OneMap Census 2020).

Does this age mix match the trade you're considering?

Straight talk

Objections, turned around

The real number, what it means here, and the question it leaves you with.

"Why not just buy a residential property instead?"
A Singapore Citizen's 2nd residential property at this price pays S$1,852,399 in ABSD (IRAS rates as of 2026-10-21); this listing pays S$0.
Would you rather hand that to IRAS, or put it into the asset?
Straight answers

The questions buyers actually ask

Including the trade-offs — buy with eyes open.
Is the unit tenanted?
Yes. A buyer takes over subject to the tenancy. Lease terms are shared with a serious buyer, not published here.
What can the unit be used for?
A URA SPACE check on 2 Jul 2026 showed approved use as a commercial school, with no expiry. Other uses need their own check. Always verify the approved use for your trade before you commit.
Does GST apply?
The price is quoted plus GST. Whether it is charged depends on the seller's GST registration, and whether a buyer can claim it back depends on the buyer. Confirm both with your lawyer and IRAS.

Indicative answers — confirm with your lawyer, URA and IRAS.
