However, URA recognises that certain non-industrial activities, such as ancillary offices, staff canteens and showrooms are needed to support the predominant industrial uses. Hence, such supporting non-industrial uses, together with ancillary areas (e.g. lift lobbies and circulation spaces) are allowed to occupy up to 40% of the total floor area of an industrial development. ā URA
In short, the unit in industrial building is not allowed to be used 100% as office, shop front eg. travel and maid agencies, accounting firms, law firms, advertising agencies, tuition center, supermarket, religious activities, child care, etc. There need to be a predominant use of minimum 60% to be set aside for core industrial activities (see table below). The ancillary component is limited to a maximum of 40% for non-core or supporting uses such as office function eg. HR, admin, finance, sales and marketing, pantry.
