Background to Mall Calculation

Why is there a need for a Mall Calculator?

For people wanting to rent spaces outside malls, they often turn to shophouses which are often owned by individual owners. These transactions with the individual owners are usually very clear and the amount would be agreed upon between the owners and the tenants. This rate is normally based on a fixed monthly rental for a 2-years or 3-years lease term. However the process and rental behind how shopping malls are unclear.

Structure of the Standard Lease

Normally, the rental components consists of Base Rent plus Gross Turnover (GTO) of the intended business. 

Base Rent ($ per sqft) x Size of Unit (Sqft) + Percentage of GTO.

Based on an example of a 3 year lease term for a 200sqft kiosk will look something like this:

Asking Rent
Year 1 @ S$40.00psf 
Year 2 @ S$41.00psf 
Year 3 @ S$42.00psf 
Projected Monthly GTO: S$80,000

Year 1
(Asking Rent x sqft) + 1% GTO 
= S$8,000 + (S$800)) 
= S$8,800  

In this case, the rental payable shall be S$8,800.
