Buying commercial property in Singapore
Approved use is the first thing to check. A unit’s permitted use is set by URA or JTC zoning, not by what the previous occupier happened to run there. F&B, childcare, medical, and light industrial uses each carry their own requirements, and changing use needs approval. Every commercial listing on SOLO states the approved use.
The tax position differs from residential. Commercial property is not subject to Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty, which is one reason it attracts investors, but GST may apply on the purchase price where the seller is GST-registered. Buyer’s Stamp Duty still applies at the non-residential rates. Take your own tax advice before committing.
Financing is tighter. Loan-to-value limits on commercial property are typically lower than residential and the tenor is often shorter, so the cash requirement is higher than buyers coming from the residential market expect. CPF cannot be used.
For income-producing units, tenancy status is central. A unit sold with a tenant in place carries an existing lease, rent, and expiry that you inherit; a vacant unit gives flexibility but no immediate income. Fit-out condition, whether bare, partially fitted, or fully fitted, changes how quickly you can occupy and how much you spend on top of the price.
Industrial units carry extra conditions, including JTC eligibility rules and minimum occupation requirements on some strata industrial properties. Confirm these against the specific unit before making an offer.

Common questions
Is ABSD payable on commercial property?
No. Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty applies to residential property. Buyer’s Stamp Duty at the non-residential rates still applies, and GST may be charged where the seller is GST-registered.
Can I use CPF to buy commercial property?
No. CPF savings may only be used for residential property. Commercial purchases are funded with cash and commercial financing, which typically carries a lower loan-to-value limit than a residential loan.
What does approved use mean?
Approved use is the activity the authorities permit in that unit, such as office, retail, F&B, or light industrial. Operating outside the approved use requires a change of use application, which is not always granted.
Can foreigners buy commercial property in Singapore?
Commercial and industrial property is not restricted under the Residential Property Act in the way landed housing is, so foreign buyers and foreign-incorporated entities generally may purchase. Individual schemes, such as some JTC industrial properties, impose their own eligibility conditions.
