JTC Anchor Tenant Applications: 2026 Guidelines, Space Requirements & Approval Criteria

A JTC Anchor Tenant / Anchor Subtenant is an approved occupier within a JTC subletting framework (commonly under Third-Party Facility Provider (3PFP) arrangements), assessed by JTC on economic contribution and space productivity. Where applicable, approved anchor occupants help meet minimum GFA occupation requirements, while non-anchor subletting remains subject to JTC’s assessment and prevailing subletting fees.

• Clarity and compliance on how your premises can be occupied/sublet under JTC rules. 

• Stronger acceptance pathway for well-justified industrial use, supported by measurable outputs such as Value Added (VA), Remuneration per Worker (RPW), and skilled workforce profile. 

• For many applicants, the commercial driver is straightforward: approved anchor arrangements can materially reduce regulatory friction and subletting cost exposure versus non-approved subletting (which may incur fees and/or require re-application upon changes)

JTC commonly evaluates Anchor Tenant / Anchor Subtenant proposals on:

• Economic contribution and land/space productivity (VA)

• Good job creation and workforce quality (including skilled profile and RPW)

• Land use optimisation and operational fit with approved industrial use

• Corporate profile (ACRA, group structure) and principal activities in Singapore

• GFA plan (area schedule), intended occupants, and usage compatibility

• Business plan (typically comprehensive), including: operations flow, customers/projects, capex/P&M, hiring plan, VA/RPW projections, and sustainability practices

• Feasibility & positioning: confirm eligibility, anchor strategy, and risk points

• Build the submission pack: business plan + VA/RPW + headcount + fixed asset justification + layouts

• Submission & clarifications: manage Q&A with JTC and refine supporting evidence

• Post-approval governance: support changes (e.g., significant GFA/usage adjustments may require re-application)
