可以选择投资的商业地产:
办公室:新加坡大型的甲A级办公楼主要为财团或者基金公司控制,一般不对外出售,市场上在中央商务区有分层地契办公楼出售,地理位置在市区的办公楼一般都有比较稳定的租客,该类产业投资金额一般为总额$150万新币起。
店屋:新加坡店屋一般为两层到三层高度,解读店屋二字,意即楼上为住宅,楼下为商业用途,如今随着经济发展,不少店屋楼上已经改为办公室用途,一楼继续保留作为商业用途,比方说开餐厅,酒吧,SPA 等商业活动,因新加坡店屋见证了200年南洋的发展历史,如今该类店屋在新加坡的数量稀缺,并且主要处于市区位置,吸引着不少中长期投资客持有该类产业,特别是近几年吸引不少欧美基金或者家族信托投资该类稀缺资源产业。
办公室:新加坡作为亚洲金融中心,我和大家分享一组数据,根据最新的高纬环球发布的“亚太区域”总部报告显示,新加坡,香港,上海,悉尼,东京和北京六个主要亚太城市中,新加坡凭借长期建立的有利于企业经商和监管环境,成为跨国企业设立区域总部最具吸引力城市,总共有高达4200家跨国企业将亚太区域总部设立在新加坡,而排在第二和第三的香港和上海分别只有1389家和470家而已。这样一来,香港和上海的跨国企业办公室总数量加起来还不如弹丸之地新加坡跨国企业办公室数量的一半,同时新加坡绝大部分甲A 级办公楼都由财团控制,显少对外出售,而加之市场上的分层地契办公室能很好对外体现企业形象的甚少,这样一来显得新加坡办公室板块的中长期投资潜力是非常良好的。
酒店:新加坡作为旅游城市,特别是两大赌场开放后,新加坡的酒店客房一直紧张,特别是受制于人多地少的限制,导致政府能放出来兴建土地的酒店地皮甚少,而游客昨年增加,盛传金沙赌场因为生意太过火爆赚的盆钵满,由此金沙赌场像新加坡政府提出要更多土地扩建赌场设施遭到政府拒绝。在目前的新加坡酒店投资市场,主要有我们常见的星级大酒店,也有为数不多的由老式店屋改造过来的小型精品酒店或者小型主题酒店,目前政府已经暂时停止颁发执照给由老式店屋改造过来的酒店,这样显的小型酒店僧多粥少,因为星级酒店涉及投资金额巨大(一般为数亿新币投资总额),导致由老式店屋改造过来的精品酒店因为投资总额相对不高(大概1500万新币起),而成为投资客特别是不少欧美基金公司眼中的香馍馍。
零售店面:在新加坡,有一座商场就相当于坐拥一座金矿,因为新加坡国土面积狭小,一般来说,新加坡家庭周末打发时间的主要休闲方式为逛街,周末在市区的商场一般都是人满为患,同理,新加坡几乎所有大型商场均由大型财团控制,比方说淡马锡控股旗下的嘉德置地控制了新加坡许多大型商场,显少对外出售,在商场中能对外单个或者单层铺面对外出售的均属于分层地契模式,目前这样真正好的分层地契商业铺面在新加坡市场相对较少,投资总额也节节攀升。
注意:
应该是用个人购买还是公司购买?
购买商业地产与住宅地产是有比较大的区别的,一般来说,商业地产会有政府消费税要征收,若是用个人名字购买,买家是需要用现金支付这个7%的消费税给政府是无法拿回的。 但是若是设立公司购买以上产业,并且将公司注册为GST消费税 公司,商业地产买家付出的消费税是可以分阶段和政府拿回的,这也就导致了市场上绝大部分商业地产买家会选择成立公司购买商业地产。 线条分割线 当然也有例外的是,市场上有少量商业地产因为卖方是私人卖出并且产业在个人名下,这样买家买过来是不需要支付政府消费税的,但是这个占比例比较少数。

Woods Square
Woods Square (新办公室出售)
Woods Square 位于兀兰中心,靠近兀兰长堤坊购物商场,走路就可到达兀兰地铁站,拥有2条地铁线,南北线(红)和未来的兀兰南地铁站汤申线(2019年完工),南通新山北达滨海湾市区,是日后新加坡北部的交通枢纽中心。在市区重建局2014年发展总蓝图的规划下,由兀兰中心及兀兰北岸组成的兀兰区域中心在未来10至15年将会有显著变化,成为一个集居住、工作、娱乐于一体,充满活力的社区。滨水兀兰区域中心将拥有750万平方英尺的商业空间及100公顷的备用土地,也意味着将有约10万个新工作机会,日臻完善的生活设施、扩增的交通网络和住户量的增加,均有助于区域发展所需。作为新加坡北部通道的兀兰区域中心势必成为全国第三个区域中心,规模与裕廊湖区及淡滨尼区域中心旗鼓相当。
兀兰中心将迎来首个商业发展项目Woods Square,此办公及零售项目乃由日本上市公司积水住宅与本地公司远东乌节及远东机构联合发展,共有4栋办公大楼,其中还有两个楼层供给零售、餐饮业和托儿中心。Woods Square与长堤坊购物中心及兀兰地铁站仅有咫尺之遥,并设有广阔的绿色空间及户外场所,屋顶天台更具备讨论区、游泳池和健身房等,别具一格。位于甘巴士道,和沿着兀兰9道和12道的两个新园区将成为一个新的制造工业区。Wood Square 由4座不同主题的大楼组成,其中办公室大楼楼高16层,共计383个单位,面积由559sqft 到1528sqft 。
这一切新增商业及工业发展项目必将为兀兰创造更多的就业机会。兀兰中心将投资增设价值3,100万元的零售及餐饮综合项目,包括一个小贩中心、60个店铺、一家超市,还有商业学校,为该区不断增长的人口丰富其生活所需。多个市政场所正在草拟中。届时公众可步行前往兀兰中心与兀兰北岸,还有一个露天商铺环绕的民众广场(People’s Plaza)。一切与地铁及巴士网络互相连接。
继淡滨尼与裕廊之后,兀兰将在15至20年后发展成为我国第三个区域中心,占地100 公顷,相当于两个滨海南, 按照土地用途计划,兀兰新镇是指定的区域中心,预计在接下来10年到15年内会有所发展。在设想中,它将实现其“新加坡北部大门”的潜能。政府将创造以交通为中心的发展项目,拟定有特色的地区,利用滨水区,以及提升连通性与绿色网络,旨在达成上述愿景。兀兰是第三个将历经发展的区域中心,比第四个区域中心实里达来得先。
此外,在计划中,兀兰镇将多建两个地铁站,即汤东线上的兀兰南站与兀兰北站,现有的兀兰地铁站将于2021年成为连接南北线及未来汤申-东海岸线的转换站,方便通勤者。尤其,兀兰北站也将是新柔地铁系统里的新加坡站,进一步提升新加坡与柔佛的连通性。现有道路将给予改善,新建道路也将更加顺畅。未来全长21.5公里的南北交通廊道将成为新加坡首个结合高速公路、巴士专道、脚踏车道及宽阔人行道于一体的综合交通廊道,便捷连通兀兰与市区及市镇,如三巴旺、义顺、宏茂桥、碧山和大巴窑,日后可南下直达珊顿道,滨海湾等市区,北上可直通柔佛新山,再加上现有的兀兰地铁站和海军部地铁站,可说是非常方便。而即将建造的南北高速公路(NSE),预计于2020年完工。与 SLE,BKE,PIE 结合下可到达新加坡的每个角落,绝对是日后的交通枢纽。
兀兰以其郁郁葱葱的自然环境及众多公园水泊著称。经过近期翻新的兀兰镇公园东有小径通往山顶花园,添加华丽气氛。与此同时还有更多的美化工程正待开发。海军部公园预期在新一轮的整修下将与公园连道环线连接,为一般的骑士和出游者提供更顺畅的休闲廊道。随着兀兰不断发展变迁,兀兰区域中心势必更加生机勃勃,即将成为一个宜商宜居、休闲娱乐、生活相融的绿意盎然滨水社区。临近也拥有许多购物和餐饮选择 , 如长缇坊商场,基础设施和各种邻里购物中林立,如Vista point , 888广场和Woodlands Mart 。
