JTC Anchor Tenant refers to a significant tenant occupying a substantial portion of leasable space within a commercial or industrial development managed by JTC in Singapore. An anchor tenant is typically a prominent and established company that plays a pivotal role in attracting other tenants and driving economic activity in the development.
Interested parties can submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to JTC, expressing their intention to become an anchor tenant in a specific JTC-managed development. The EOI typically includes company information, background, industry reputation, financial standing, and a brief outline of the proposed business plan.
JTC evaluates the received EOIs based on specific criteria such as the company’s industry experience, financial stability, innovation capabilities, track record, alignment with the development’s objectives, and potential to generate economic value. Shortlisted candidates are identified based on their ability to contribute significantly to the development and create a positive impact on the local economy.
Shortlisted candidates are invited to submit a comprehensive proposal that provides detailed information about their business plan, investment commitments, job creation potential, technological advancements, and any other relevant factors that showcase their suitability as an anchor tenant. The proposal should outline the company’s growth strategy, market positioning, operational requirements, and how it aligns with the overall vision of the JTC-managed development.
JTC evaluates the proposals received from shortlisted companies in a thorough and rigorous manner. The evaluation process may involve assessing the proposal’s feasibility, financial viability, environmental sustainability, potential impact on the local community, and alignment with JTC’s strategic goals. JTC may conduct interviews or meetings with the company’s representatives to gain a deeper understanding of their capabilities and plans.
Upon successful evaluation, JTC enters into negotiations with the selected company to finalize the terms of the anchor tenancy. Discussions typically revolve around lease terms, rental rates, leasehold improvements, lease duration, and any additional requirements or conditions specific to the JTC-managed development. The negotiation process aims to establish mutually agreeable terms that benefit both the anchor tenant and JTC.
Once negotiations are concluded, and all parties are satisfied with the terms, JTC grants approval for the anchor tenancy. A formal tenancy agreement is drafted and signed by both parties, outlining the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of the anchor tenant and JTC. The tenancy agreement covers aspects such as lease duration, rental rates, maintenance responsibilities, compliance with regulations, and any specific requirements unique to the JTC-managed development.

As of today, anchor subtenants are required to submit applications for subletting extensions, and these applications are evaluated based on their financial contributions, the project’s productivity, and the creation of quality employment. In order to maximise administrative efficiency, current anchor subtenants will no longer need to be reassessed at renewals unless there is a change (i.e., an increase or reduction in their occupied GFA and/or use). Please be aware that applications will still be required for subletting period extensions.
“Subsequent anchor subtenants, or those who take the place of the initial anchor subtenants, are now required to occupy the space for a minimum of three years every term.
Another thing that will be taken into account is how long the anchor subtenants have been present overall to provide them more options. As a result, once they have completed their first MOP, they may, with consent, renew for any time (according on their business needs). After they have completed their MOP, original anchor subtenants will likewise be given the same freedom for their renewals.”
