Potential customers who are interested in applying for a new JTC facility or existing customers who are keen to take up another JTC facility may wish to note that Plot Ratio (PR) is another criteria which companies need to comply with when applying for JTC's land and facilities.

PR refers to the ratio of the floor area (FA) of a building to its site area, i.e. FA / site area. For more details on floor area computation, please visit URA.

The plot ratio requirements may vary, depending on site usage for different industries (eg. logistics, business parks, standard factories), site locations (eg. urban, suburban) and lease tenure period (30 years or 30+30 years). Companies are required to declare their plot ratio and if they are unable to meet their declared plot ratio, their lease tenure period will be pro-rated on a linear basis.

There are certain categories of companies who are exempted from having to meet the minimum plot ratio criterion. Instead, they are required to declare their fixed assets investment (FAI) based on their business needs and provide a justification for the declared figure. They will also be subjected to land coverage ratio. Such companies are generally from the petroleum refining and petrochemicals industries.  

Should there be a shortfall from either the declared investments or plot ratio, the final lease term will take the lower of the two pro-rated leases.
