Asset class: Commercial
Land-use zone: CIVIC & COMMUNITY INSTITUTION

District / Area: District 9 · Newton

Land area: 12,298 sqm

No recorded transactions — this building has never generated a strata caveat (typically single-owner or lease-only stock). That is not missing data, and it says nothing about the building's value, occupancy or availability.

Who owns Plaza Singapura, and what is it valued at?

Key takeawayPlaza Singapura is owned by CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust, a REIT listed on SGX. The figures below come from its own SGX filings, each with its date. A valuation is an independent valuer's opinion for the owner's accounts, not a sale price.

Valued at S$1,443 million as at 31 Dec 2025, by Savills Valuation and Professional Services (S) Pte Ltd.

What does space at Plaza Singapura rent for?

Key takeawayNo rent is published for Plaza Singapura itself. On its street, Orchard Road, office space rented at a median of $8.30 psf a month in 2026Q3, with the middle half of leases between $6.42 and $10.56. That is not this building's own rent, and never a quote for a particular unit.

What do commercial rents run near Plaza Singapura?

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

An INDICATIVE AREA yield for District 9 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.

Read the figures right

Year of completion is not on record for this building. Building age cannot be stated.

Submarket: PropKaki's own map from URA's planning subzones (CBD core, City Hall / Bugis, Orchard, city fringe, regional centres, suburban). Brokers draw these lines differently.

Changes of use: URA planning approvals recorded at this building since 2000 (any unit; renewals of a temporary permission not counted). History only — Past approvals are not today's approved use; check with URA's approved-use enquiry before signing. Never say a use is allowed, permitted or approved for a unit, and never say a use would be approved.

Approved for a new building: the year URA approved the latest new erection or redevelopment here. An APPROVAL year, not a completion year — never state it as the building's age.

Owner: the REIT or SGX-listed company whose latest valuation notice or annual report lists this building (a later divestment removes it). '(N% interest)' or '(part of the strata)' when it holds less than the whole. A building with no listed owner shows none — a private owner is never named.

Net lettable area: as the owner's latest annual report prints it (sq m converted to sq ft where needed).

Car-park lots: as the owner's latest annual report prints them.

Station taps: average weekday fare-card taps in and out at the nearest MRT/LRT station (LTA DataMall). People passing the station's gates, not people visiting this building.

Foot-traffic score: PropKaki's relative score from nearby MRT and bus taps, workers and residents around (and, for retail, competing malls), ranked against buildings of the same kind. A percentile, not a count of people.

Company REGISTRATIONS at this address (ACRA), not a tenancy schedule. Registration does not mean the company physically occupies space here, and a low count does not mean the building is empty. Do not describe this as occupancy or vacancy.

Unbuilt GFA cannot be computed here — it needs BCA built-GFA, which covers about 5% of commercial buildings and no industrial ones. Zoning and plot ratio are on record; headroom is not.

Tenure is not recorded for this building. Commercial tenure coverage is roughly 40% (industrial is far better at ~90%).

Storeys: from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors), volunteer-mapped, not an official record. Shown only because no official or listed floor count is held for this building.
