Lian Tong Building stands at 18 Tannery Lane, but its management office does not. Correspondence for MCST 1722 goes care of 10 Jalan Besar #09-11, Singapore 208787, and the office line is 6298 2100.
Who runs it
The appointed managing agent is Parkland Property Services, a small firm with ten developments in this directory. It acts for the management corporation — the body made up of every unit owner in the building, which owns the common property and is responsible for maintaining it.
What tenants and contractors need it for
On an industrial strata building the office is usually the first call for goods-lift bookings and loading-bay access, after-hours and weekend working, contractor registration, and permits for fitting-out or hacking works. It also handles faults in anything shared: the lifts, the common toilets, external lighting, the car park and the building's water and electrical risers.
Tenants are worth a note here. A tenant is not the management corporation's member — the owner is — so requests that change the unit or the building, such as signage or a new air-conditioning condenser, normally need the owner's consent as well as the corporation's approval.
Where it is
Tannery Lane is in District 13, the Macpherson, Potong Pasir and Braddell area. Because the management office is at Jalan Besar rather than on site, phone first — 6298 2100 — or put the request in writing, which is generally better for anything that will need a permit or a record.
