I think it's a plurale tantum

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plurale_tantum

That is, it seems to be grammatically plural but not have a distinctive singular.

     4. pl. A piece of real estate; a building and its adjuncts;
        as, to lease premises; to trespass on another's premises.
        [1913 Webster]
