What does space at 186,188 Joo Chiat Road rent for?
Retail space on Joo Chiat Road
Street level · 2026Q3S$ per sq ft per month
URA's percentiles of RETAIL rents (shop, F&B, entertainment, health & fitness) across every lease stamped with IRAS on this STREET in the quarter — the street's figure, not this building's rent and never a unit's. Retail rent swings with floor and frontage, so the spread matters as much as the median. A median needs at least 2 buildings and 3 contracts (percentiles need 4); a blank means below that threshold, not zero.

Office space on Joo Chiat Road
Street level · 2026Q3S$ per sq ft per month · median -0.4% on a year earlier
URA's percentiles of OFFICE rents across every lease stamped with IRAS on this STREET in the quarter — the street's figure, not this building's rent and never a unit's. URA publishes a median only where the street has at least 2 office buildings and 3 contracts that quarter (percentiles need 4); a blank means below that threshold, not zero.

The middle of URA's retail grid for District 15 across every floor and size band — a ground-floor shop and an upper-floor unit sit at very different points in it.

How does Joo Chiat Road price?
Street figures cover strata deals only — land and strata PSF are not comparable.
What do commercial rents run near 186,188 Joo Chiat Road?
Indicative area yield — District 15 retail
An INDICATIVE AREA yield for District 15 retail — NOT this building's yield, and not any unit's. Commercial rents are published as a district percentile grid, so both halves describe the district.
Priced on STRATA sales only: rent is quoted per unit of lettable area, and commercial land PSF runs far above strata — mixing them would shift the ratio sharply.
Net deducts the 10% non-residential property tax ONLY — not vacancy, maintenance, agent fees, financing, or the 9% GST on purchase.
