What do commercial rents run near Tanjong Pagar Conservation Area?

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

Indicative area yield — District 2 retail

Gross yield (area)
3.8%
3.4% net of property tax
Rent side (median of bands)
$93.65 psm/mo
2026Q3
Price side (strata, 5y)

14 sales

An INDICATIVE AREA yield for District 2 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.
