Tailee Industrial Building at 39 Jalan Pemimpin is a freehold B1 light industrial building, which is quite rare nowadays. Most industrial buildings in Singapore are leasehold, either 30 or 60 years from JTC. This one is freehold, meaning you own it forever. That’s why a lot of buyers like it, especially SME owners who want to own their own unit and not worry about lease decay or paying big money to extend lease later.

The building sits on a land area of about 4,012 sqm with a GFA of around 10,031 sqm. It’s not a huge development, just one block, low-rise industrial. But the layout is very practical. Units are mostly from 500 sq ft to about 2,500 sq ft, which is just nice for small to medium companies. Not too big that you pay for empty space, not too small that you cannot work. Many units have been renovated with office front and workshop behind.

Even though it’s an older building, structure is still solid. It has cargo lift, loading bay, and decent floor loading for B1 use. Ceiling height is enough for storage and light production. Some owners have done mezzanine inside to create more usable space for office or storage. The building management is quite straightforward, not a lot of complicated rules like in new high-spec industrial.

One thing people like about Tailee is it’s strata-titled, so you can buy individual units. Not like some big warehouse where you must take whole floor. Here you can buy 1,000 sq ft, own it, use for your own business. A lot of owners are actually users themselves, doing trading, printing, IT services, design, or small assembly. So the building has a community feel, not just tenants moving in and out.

The facade is simple, old school industrial look, but inside many units are nicely done up. Because it’s freehold and in central area, owners tend to take care of their units. You see some units with glass partitions, aircon office, proper lighting. It doesn’t feel like a dirty factory, more like a workshop-office hybrid.

TOP was quite long ago, maybe in the 80s, so it’s definitely not a brand new building. But for freehold in this area, that’s expected. The key point is it still functions well for its purpose. Light industrial, clean and quiet trades, can operate without heavy noise or pollution. That’s what B1 is for, and this building fits that perfectly.

Tailee Industrial Building Location

Location wise, Tailee Industrial Building is in Jalan Pemimpin, which is part of Bishan / Ang Mo Kio industrial cluster, District 20. This is very central. From here to city is only about 15 minutes drive, to Orchard also about 15 minutes. Compared to industrial in Tuas or Changi, this is much more central and convenient for business owners who stay in central or north.

MRT access is excellent. Marymount MRT station on Circle Line is just 3 to 4 minutes walk, about 217m away. Bishan MRT interchange (NS and CC) is also nearby, one station away. So staff can come by MRT very easily, no need to take company shuttle or feeder bus like in Tuas. Buses also many along Upper Thomson Road and Jalan Pemimpin itself, service 13, 52, 132, 851 and more.

The area Jalan Pemimpin is a well-known industrial area but not heavy industrial. It’s mostly light industrial, automotive, furniture, and SME offices. So environment is cleaner, less heavy truck traffic. Roads here connect to Marymount Road, Bishan Road, and CTE, so driving in and out is smooth. For delivery vans, it’s easy to go to any part of Singapore from here.

Tailee Industrial Building Nearby Amenities

Amenities around Jalan Pemimpin are very good because you are near Bishan and Upper Thomson. For food, there is a lot. Shunfu Mart, Upper Thomson Road has many cafes and eateries, Sin Ming area has coffee shops and industrial canteens. Staff don’t need to eat the same canteen food every day, they can walk or drive 2 minutes to get variety.

Shopping and daily needs also close. Junction 8 in Bishan, AMK Hub in Ang Mo Kio, and Thomson Plaza are all within 5 to 10 minutes drive. There are supermarkets like Sheng Siong, FairPrice, FairPrice Finest nearby. So if company needs to buy something urgent, or staff want to do grocery after work, very convenient.

Plus this area has schools, banks, clinics, and even parks like Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park. It’s not isolated like some industrial estates where after 6pm nothing. Here it’s mixed with residential, so area stays lively even after office hours. For companies that have clients visiting, it’s also nicer to have your office in a central area with amenities rather than in ulu place.

End-User and Investor Future-Ready Asset

For end-users, Tailee Industrial Building is really ideal if you are an SME owner who wants to own your own space in a central location. The unit sizes from 500 to 2,587 sq ft are perfect for small businesses doing trading, service centre, design studio, IT support, printing, or light assembly. You can have your office and workshop in one unit, with aircon office in front and working area behind. No need to rent separate office in town and warehouse in Tuas. Everything in one place, your staff can communicate easily and you save on rent. And because it’s near Marymount MRT, your staff can come to work easily by public transport, which helps with hiring and retaining people. Many business owners who stay in Bishan, Ang Mo Kio, Thomson area like to have their office nearby so they don’t need to travel far every day.

The building is also very flexible for future growth. If you start small, you can buy one unit of 1,000 sq ft, then later when business expands, you can buy the next door unit and combine. Many owners here have done that, merging two or three units into one bigger office. Because it’s strata-titled and freehold, you have full control to renovate inside as long as you follow B1 rules. You can add mezzanine, glass partition, proper server room, or showroom area. For businesses that want to have a small showroom for clients to visit, this central location is much better than being in Tuas where clients don’t want to go. Your clients can take MRT to Marymount and walk over, very convenient.

For investors, Tailee Industrial Building is a strong asset because freehold industrial in central location is very rare and hard to find now. Almost all new industrial launches are 30 or 60 years leasehold, and many are far away in the west. So freehold units in D20 will always have demand. Rental demand here is stable because many SMEs prefer to rent in central area near MRT rather than far away. Even small units of 500 sq ft can rent out easily at $1.5k to $2k per month, which gives good rental yield. And because land is freehold, there is no lease decay worry, so capital value holds better long term compared to leasehold industrial that drops as lease gets shorter.

Looking at future-ready angle, the whole Bishan / Marymount / Upper Thomson area is transforming. With more residential developments, improved transport, and government pushing for more live-work-play areas, industrial buildings in central locations like Jalan Pemimpin will become even more valuable. Companies nowadays want to be near city, near MRT, and near amenities for their staff. Tailee ticks all those boxes. It’s not just an industrial building, it’s a centrally located business space that can adapt to different uses – office, showroom, service centre, light production. So for both end-users who want to own and use, and investors who want stable rental and long term capital preservation, Tailee Industrial Building is a future-ready asset worth holding.
