Project Overview
Location & Connectivity
Paya Ubi Industrial Park sits along Ubi Avenue 1 in the Eunos-Geylang-Paya Lebar corridor of District 14, one of Singapore’s more established light industrial belts. The estate has occupied this Ubi Avenue 1 site since the late 1990s, making it a recognisable fixture for occupiers who have grown their operations in the surrounding Ubi and Kaki Bukit micro-market over the past two decades.
Connectivity is a core part of the estate’s appeal. Ubi MRT station on the Downtown Line sits within an easy walk, while MacPherson interchange (Circle Line and Downtown Line) and Eunos station on the East-West Line are both within a short drive or bus ride. For road users, direct slip access to the Pan-Island Expressway keeps travel times to Changi Airport, the CBD and the wider island network to well under twenty minutes in normal traffic.
The immediate surrounds mix industrial neighbours with everyday amenities. Occupiers and their staff have Fairprice, Giant and Cold Storage supermarkets within reach, alongside coffee shops and canteens dotted through nearby industrial blocks. Slightly further afield, SingPost Centre, Paya Lebar Square and Paya Lebar Quarter provide a fuller retail, F&B and grab-and-go lunch scene for staff working on site.

Building & Facilities
The estate is built as a cluster of low-rise industrial blocks rather than a single tower, spread across a substantial 54,001 sqm land parcel with a combined GFA of roughly 132,181 sqm. This low-rise, multi-block layout is typical of late-1990s B1 developments and gives occupiers direct ground-level or near-ground access to their units, which matters for anyone moving stock, machinery or vehicles in and out regularly.
Common facilities are functional rather than lavish, in keeping with the estate’s industrial-first positioning: a staffed guardhouse, season car parking, and loading areas serving the various blocks. Listings for individual units point to features such as roller-shutter loading bays, ceiling heights of up to approximately six metres on select high-floor and corner units, and partially furnished handovers on some resale and rental stock, which shortens fit-out time for incoming tenants.
Given the estate’s age of roughly a quarter-century, prospective buyers and tenants should budget for a physical due-diligence visit covering lift condition (where applicable), roof and common-area upkeep, fire safety compliance, and electrical load capacity for higher-power machinery. A management corporation is in place for the estate, which buyers can approach directly for maintenance records and any planned upgrading works before committing to a purchase.
Unit Types & Floor Plan Notes
Unit sizes at Paya Ubi Industrial Park span a wide range, from compact standalone units suited to small workshops through to larger combined lots for bigger operations. The estate’s multi-block layout means configurations vary noticeably by block and floor, so a physical viewing is strongly advised before transacting.
≈1,500 – 3,000 sqft
Direct roller-shutter access for vans and light trucks, suited to storage, distribution or trade businesses needing frequent loading and unloading.
≈1,000 – 2,500 sqft
The most commonly traded configuration, typically bare-shell or partially fitted, popular with small manufacturers and service workshops.
≈2,000 – 4,000 sqft
Corner and top-floor units offering ceiling heights of up to roughly six metres, useful for spray-painting, racking or equipment-heavy operations.
≈800 – 1,800 sqft
Units with a mezzanine level or attached office annex, letting occupiers split space between production floor and administrative use.
Investment Case
Paya Ubi Industrial Park’s investment case rests on its established location, flexible B1 zoning and a wide entry price band that suits both owner-occupiers and small investors. Against that, its age and the steady decay of a 60-year lease from 1997 mean buyers need to weigh financing terms and exit horizon carefully.
What Works
- Direct PIE slip access keeps island-wide travel times short for logistics-dependent tenants.
- Three MRT lines (Downtown, Circle, East-West) within reasonable reach broadens the staff catchment.
- B1 zoning permits a wide range of light industrial, workshop and ancillary office uses.
- A wide sale price band from roughly S$1.2 million lowers the entry barrier for smaller buyers.
- An established, multi-decade occupier base supports steady rental demand from SME tenants.
What to Weigh Carefully
- The estate is roughly a quarter-century old, so building and M&E condition varies by block.
- Remaining lease of under 40 years may narrow financing options as the tenure decays further.
- En-bloc or collective sale prospects for a large multi-block B1 estate are not assured.
- Outdoor season parking can feel tight during peak loading and shift-change hours.
- PSF spreads are wide, so pricing benchmarks require unit-by-unit verification, not estate averages.
Who This Suits
Paya Ubi Industrial Park tends to suit owner-occupiers running small to mid-sized manufacturing, assembly, servicing or trading operations that need direct loading access and are comfortable with an older but functional building. It also appeals to yield-focused investors who prioritise a lower entry quantum and steady SME rental demand over a longer holding period, provided they factor remaining lease decay into their exit planning, and to businesses whose staff and clients benefit from proximity to three separate MRT lines rather than a single station.
