SCO, shop cum office plots, give the owner control over an independent commercial plot with a mix of permitted uses across floors.
An SCO owner decides what is built, how the floors are used and how the asset is leased, which is not possible in a strata unit inside a larger development. That flexibility suits owners who want to combine retail at ground level with office or other uses above. It also means the owner carries the construction and leasing effort.
Confirm the permitted uses under the licence, the sanctioned built up area and floor count, and the status of the surrounding plots. An SCO belt fills in over several years, and a plot in a largely vacant stretch performs quite differently from one in a completed row.
A shop cum office plot allowing a mix of commercial uses across floors, owned and developed independently rather than as a unit within a larger building.
They suit owners who want control over the asset and are prepared to handle construction and leasing themselves.
Uses permitted under the licence, typically retail at ground level with office or other commercial uses above. Confirm the sanctioned floor count.
