On its street, Jalan Besar, retail space rented at a median of $7.09 psf a month in 2026Q3, with the middle half of leases between $5.45 and $7.86. That is not this building's own rent, and never a quote for a particular unit.

What do commercial rents run near Petain Rd/Tyrwhitt Rd Conservation Area?

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

Price side (strata, 5y)

59 sales

An INDICATIVE AREA yield for District 8 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.
