What is the zoning for HDB shophouses?

HDB shophouses in Singapore are typically located in areas zoned under the URA Master Plan as Commercial, Commercial & Residential, or Residential with Commercial on the ground floor. These zonings permit commercial activities on the ground level (e.g., retail shops) while upper floors may be approved for residential use in mixed developments. The exact zoning for a specific HDB shophouse can be verified via the URA Master Plan portal or the property's title documents, as it determines allowable trades listed on HDB's website. Any deviation requires a formal change-of-use application through HDB's GoBusiness portal.
