Key takeawayPaya Lebar Road's current JTC street rent is S$35.52 psm/month (2026Q3), which against the street's strata sale median works out to an indicative gross yield of 2.9% (2.6% net of property tax).

Street median PSF (strata)
$1,338
Indicative street yield

An INDICATIVE street-level yield, not a yield for any particular unit: the current-quarter JTC street rent divided by the street's strata sale PSF median.

Net deducts the 10% non-residential property tax ONLY — not vacancy, maintenance, agent fees, financing, or the 9% GST on purchase.

Street figures cover strata deals only — land and strata PSF are not comparable.
