What do commercial rents run near Raffles City Shopping Centre?

Key takeawayURA publishes contracted-rent percentile grids quarterly (latest: 2026Q2) — the benchmark evidence an asking rent should be weighed against.

Indicative area yield — District 6 retail

Gross yield (area)
5.0%
4.5% net of property tax
Rent side (median of bands)
$108.49 psm/mo
2026Q2
Price side (strata, 5y)
$2,394 psf
96 sales

An INDICATIVE AREA yield for District 6 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.
