ihow this figure was read
- n=1
- This rests on 1 unit. URA prints no median under 3 contracts: its own disclosure floor, read from its panel. Read it as one landlord's number rather than a market.
- unchanged since Jun 2026 · 57 days
- This asking price was posted 2026-06-07 and had stood 57 days when the listings were read. It is the landlord's own date, carried from the portal, and it is known for every listing behind this figure. An age measured on a minority of a pool is not that pool's age, so a row that cannot say is not given one.
- units of 1,086 sqft
- The unit behind this figure is 1,086 sqft (101 sqm). It is the portal's own published floor area, the same denominator the per-sqm figure was divided by, and the number that decides which of URA's size bands this row is weighed against.

How to read a row: the bold figure is the middle of its range and the figures either side are the range’s ends; “carried” means aggregated up from finer measurements (streets, postals, doors) into this corner, never a direct reading at it. The n is the count behind the figure: contracts, awards, units or taps, by instrument. An absent row carries a code and a side, never an instrument or a date, because nothing was measured. Every rent row was measured per square metre a month by its publisher (URA’s street medians, HDB’s awards over their printed floor area, the portals’ asks) and is printed here per square foot, divided once by this record’s own bridge of 10.76 sqft per sqm.
suppressed_at_source: withheld or not published at source. GHS 2025 printed a dash for this cell — small counts are withheld to prevent identification of individuals, and suppression is not a population of zero. The dash is denser in the age x sex strata than in the pooled total, which is what suppression of small cells looks like and is itself information
suppressed_at_source: withheld or not published at source. GHS publishes no usable dwelling mix for this subzone — SingStat printed a dash, which its own footnotes define as nil OR negligible OR suppressed — three different worlds one glyph cannot distinguish, so this is recorded as the publisher withholding, never as zero. The household count here is the same divide as the spend weights, and with no residents-by-dwelling there is nothing to divide
GHS 2025: employed RESIDENTS by workplace planning area. Foreign-worker commuters are outside the frame entirely, so this is a FLOOR on true daytime workers; no-fixed-location (201,500) and work-from-home (82,200) sit in categories, not areas. Planning-area grain: the table publishes nothing finer, so every subzone in DOWNTOWN CORE with premises, taps or residents published at the corner shows this same figure.

the publisher's own facet types this row "office", which is not shop space. Measured over every per-sqm rent in this artifact, the median of the 804 shopfront rows sits at 1.5x the median of the 171 rows typed "office". Two markets, and this one is not the shop market. The figure is real for what it measures and it is not what a shop costs here

an awarded tender: achieved, and the WINNING bid. It is the top of its own bid distribution by construction, so it reads high of what a sitting tenant pays
HDB restricted no trade. NOT a synonym for "an ordinary shop": the stratum holds anchor-lease tails
this is a upper-floor row. The shop-rent slot is led by street-level space; a upper unit is a different market at the same address (at Parc Point the basement median runs 2.4x the ground one), so it prints here with its floor named rather than standing in for a shopfront
hdb.tender.awarded-rent.shop:carried · subzone grain · 2024-12-11 is the day bids closed on HDB's tender for this unit: the one date both tender files give every row, awarded or not; the award itself is dated nowhere in them, and this is not the day the notice was read and not the day the tenant opened

URA PMI district median at DISTRICT grain, not measured at this corner. ALL of this corner's geocoded postals sit in District 01. The stratum is Level 1 (street level), declared here because URA stamps no all-levels, all-bands district median: the 4 size bands pool UNWEIGHTED: lo the lowest of the bands' lows, hi the highest of their highs, mid the median of band medians, because URA publishes no contract counts to weight with; n=3 is its disclosure floor, not a sample size. Read the bands and match your own floor area.

ENTRIES AND EXITS SUMMED on an average weekday, all day. Not boardings: a reader who takes it for boardings is out by roughly half. Each station carries ITS OWN measured weekday taps and its own measured distance to this corner. Nothing is re-allocated and no share is invented, so a station that serves several corners appears on several cards. Distance is straight-line from this corner to the station's NEAREST PUBLISHED EXIT (LTA, 613 exit points), not to a representative address, and not a walking route: the real walk is longer wherever a road, canal or rail line stands in the way, and an underground link reads as its street doorway. Every station within 400m is listed, busiest first. The radius is the only cut. Where an interchange spans two codes the taps are summed and every code is named.

NEA's hawker centre registry is a census of 129 centres, each carrying a point, its own cooked-food stall count and its build status; these are the ones whose point falls inside this corner. The stall count above sums the centres NEA says are trading. Where the trade count disagrees, the disagreement is the finding: a stall row that landed in a neighbouring polygon is a join we owe you, not an absence of stalls.
nea.ssot.hawker-centres · subzone grain · as of 2026-03-13 · 2026-03-13 is NEA's own last-refresh stamp (FMEL_UPD_D) on the freshest row in this registry extract, not a survey date. Each centre below carries the stamp on its own row, and they range across more than a year
suppressed_at_source: withheld or not published at source. GHS publishes no usable dwelling mix for this subzone, so the bridge has no weights: a dash that means nil OR suppressed, and a bridge without weights would be the national number wearing a subzone's name. What is withheld is the dwelling MIX: a resident population may still publish above
not_published: withheld or not published at source. SingStat publishes the GHS 2025 household income distribution by PLANNING AREA and names 29 of them; DOWNTOWN CORE is not one, so the households here sit inside the table's "Others" row together with 25 other planning areas. That row is an aggregate, not a place, and splitting it would mean inventing a share nobody published. This is the publisher pooling a small resident population, never a statement that households here earn little or that nobody counted them.

Counted as shopfront-capable: commercial, commercial & residential, residential with commercial at 1st storey, white, business park - white, hotel.
ZONING IS PERMISSION, NOT SUPPLY. This is the share of this corner's zoned land whose use class can hold a shopfront (COMMERCIAL, COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL, RESIDENTIAL WITH COMMERCIAL AT 1ST STOREY, WHITE, BUSINESS PARK - WHITE, HOTEL) under the Master Plan 2025 with amendments. Not floor space that exists, not units for rent, and not a promise any particular unit is licensed for your trade. A low share means the plan gives a shopfront little room here; a high share does not mean anything is built. Each parcel is counted whole in the subzone holding its centroid.
