What does space at 592g,592h,592j Balestier Road rent for?

On its street, Balestier Road, retail space rented at a median of $5.76 psf a month in 2026Q3, with the middle half of leases between $5.00 and $7.48.

Per URA circular DC23-08, Appendix A (2 Oct 2023: no new eating houses in shophouses on listed stretches). A planning guideline for the area, not a decision on any unit; it applies to new eating houses and bars, not to one already approved.

How does Balestier Road price?

Key takeawayAcross 45 strata sales on Balestier Road in the last 5 years, the median is $2,070 psf.

What do commercial rents run near 592g,592h,592j Balestier Road?

Key takeawayURA publishes contracted-rent percentile grids quarterly (latest: 2026Q3) — the benchmark evidence an asking rent should be weighed against.

2.6% net of property tax

2026Q3

Price side (strata, 5y)

54 sales

An INDICATIVE AREA yield for District 12 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.
