Commercial Property for Rent FAQs

99.co offers a comprehensive selection of commercial properties for rent across Singapore. These include office spaces in CBD and fringe locations, retail shops in malls or shophouses, industrial units like warehouses and factories, food and beverage (F&B) spaces, medical suites, business park units, and co-working spaces. Whether you’re a business owner looking to open a new outlet or a startup in need of flexible office space, you’ll find a wide range of options to suit different budgets and business needs.

There are currently over 2035 commercial properties available for rent on 99.co. These listings are updated regularly and are posted by licensed real estate agents and landlords across various districts in Singapore, so you’ll have no shortage of options to explore.

To search for commercial rentals on 99.co, simply head to the Commercial for Rent page. From there, you can use the search filters to narrow down your options by location, property type (such as office, retail, industrial), rental price range, floor size, tenure, furnishing, and availability. You can also sort your results by the most recent listings or by rental price. Each listing includes detailed information, high-quality photos, and in many cases, floor plans and virtual tours.

Most listings on 99.co are submitted by licensed property agents registered with Singapore’s Council for Estate Agencies (CEA). The platform runs various checks to ensure listings are genuine, including verifying the agents’ contact details against official databases.
Users can further refine their search to show only “Must See” listings – these meet strict quality standards and, when authenticated by 99.co, include an additional “Verified” stamp for added assurance.

Yes, foreigners and foreign-owned companies can generally rent commercial properties in Singapore. There are no major restrictions for leasing office, retail, industrial, or F&B spaces, as long as the intended use aligns with the URA zoning and the property's approved use. However, you may still need to register your business with ACRA or obtain permits from relevant government agencies depending on the nature of your business operations.

Yes, you can easily filter your search results based on tenancy status – whether the unit is currently tenanted or available for immediate occupancy. If you’re looking for a ready-to-move-in space, use the filter for ‘Tenanted’ or ‘Not tenanted’. This ensures you’re only viewing listings that meet your timeline.

Remote viewings are available for some commercial listings on 99.co, depending on the agent and the property's access arrangements. Many agents offer video walkthroughs, live virtual tours, or can send pre-recorded clips to help you get a better sense of the space before scheduling an in-person visit. You can contact the agent directly through the listing page to ask about remote viewing options or to request a virtual appointment if you’re unable to visit the unit physically.

Once you’ve found a listing you’re interested in, you can contact the agent directly through the listing page using the call, WhatsApp, or enquiry form options. Most agents will respond promptly to arrange a site visit and answer any questions you may have about the property. It’s a good idea to visit multiple properties before deciding, to compare options and better understand the market.

Before committing to a lease, consider your business requirements in terms of location, unit size, floor layout, accessibility, and proximity to amenities or transport nodes. You should also review the approved usage under URA zoning, available power supply, ceiling height, loading/unloading access, and whether renovations are allowed. It’s also important to understand the lease terms – such as the rental amount, security deposit, lease duration, renewal clauses, and who is responsible for maintenance and repairs.

Yes, beyond the monthly rental, tenants should budget for additional expenses such as Goods and Services Tax (GST) if the landlord is GST-registered, utilities (electricity, water, air-conditioning), MCST or maintenance fees, and insurance. For industrial spaces, there may also be service charges for facilities such as loading bays or security. It’s always advisable to clarify these costs upfront before signing a tenancy agreement.

Commercial leases in Singapore commonly range from 1 to 3 years, though some landlords may offer shorter or longer terms depending on the property and tenant profile. Longer leases often come with more favorable terms or renewal options, but tenants should evaluate whether the duration aligns with their business plans. Always review the lease agreement for break clauses or penalties for early termination.

Yes, rental prices for commercial properties are typically negotiable, especially if you’re committing to a longer lease or making other concessions like upfront payment or minor renovations. You can negotiate directly with the landlord or agent representing the property. Factors like market demand, current occupancy rates, and lease flexibility will also influence the final rental amount.

The standard security deposit in Singapore is usually equivalent to two to three months' rent, depending on the lease duration and tenant profile. For short-term leases or new businesses, landlords may ask for a higher deposit. This deposit is held for the duration of the lease and will be refunded at the end of the term, subject to the condition of the unit and any outstanding payments.

Early termination terms are outlined in the tenancy agreement. Some leases include a break clause that allows either party to terminate the lease after a certain period with prior notice, typically three to six months. However, in the absence of such a clause, ending the lease early may result in forfeiting the deposit or paying the remaining rental as liquidated damages. Always clarify this upfront before signing the lease.

Renovations are usually allowed, but only with the landlord’s written approval and in compliance with building guidelines. You may also need to obtain permits from relevant authorities depending on the extent of the renovation. It’s also common for tenants to reinstate the unit to its original condition at the end of the lease, so it’s important to factor reinstatement costs into your budget.
