Preparing a Heritage Terrace Unit

Published 9 October 2026

An owner who plans to lease a unit works backwards from the tenant's first day. The questions come in a sensible order: how does the tenant reach the unit, what must be done inside it, and how will customers find it? At Gourmet Xchange, the Heritage Terrace gives those questions a distinctive setting.

Heritage Terrace is the 3-storey B1 (Food) building within the development, restored from its 1980s form, and it holds 8 of the project's 272 units. It sits at 1 Kallang Way in District 13, alongside The Xchange, a 9-storey B2 (Food) ramp-up block, and the Central Plaza that connects the buildings. Unlike a modern block, a restored low-rise has its own character, which an owner can build on instead of working around.

Access comes first. A tenant in food production thinks about how ingredients arrive and how finished goods leave, and the route from the street to the door shapes the daily routine. An owner can walk that route in advance, noting how a delivery would reach the front, where staff would enter, and how the unit relates to the Central Plaza. A written note of those details is something a prospective tenant will appreciate.

Fit-out comes second. Food users usually need kitchen exhaust, gas, grease handling and water provisions, and requirements differ from one operator to the next. The practical step for an owner is to ask the developer and the relevant authorities what the building provides and what approvals a tenant's works need, and then to share that list at the first viewing. Doing so keeps a conversation about a tenant's kitchen grounded in the building's real arrangements.

Signage is the third prompt. A restored heritage building draws attention to its frontage, so an owner can think about how a tenant's name would sit on that facade and what the managing body and authorities permit. Agreeing a sensible approach to signage before the lease is signed spares both sides a later negotiation.

One more habit helps: a short written handover pack. It can list the unit number, floor, access route, any approvals already held and the provisions the building supplies, so that a tenant and an owner begin from the same page. Packs like this make a first viewing more productive for everyone involved.

Timing matters too. The development's expected TOP is 2028, expected vacant possession is 31 March 2029 and expected legal completion is 31 March 2032, so the preparation described here is planning work for the years ahead. The land is held on a 33-year JTC lease running from 17 February 2025 to February 2058, and an owner who is thinking about a tenancy will keep that lease term in mind when discussing length of tenancy with a tenant.

Developer CapitaLand Development, through CL Savour Property Pte Ltd, is delivering the project on a site of 44,107.8 sqm. The Gourmet Xchange location page lays out the Kallang Way setting, and the Gourmet Xchange homepage introduces the whole development.
