Asking shop rent here

S$15.89per sqft, a month asking as of 2026-08

the darker band is Newton, the lighter one the island; the mark is this corner

Half of Newton’s 4 shopfront-led corners rent between S$11.99–13.43 psf. Half the island’s 229 fall between S$6.89–13.33 psf.

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 Sep 2025 · 320 days: This asking price was posted 2025-09-17 and had stood 320 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 2,454 sqft: The unit behind this figure is 2,454 sqft (228 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.

This thin ask sits in the upper middle (at or above the median, at or below the 75th percentile) of the cell it was weighed against: S$10.50–20.09 psf, median S$13.52 psf. It falls at or below that cell’s p75, so it keeps the head of this card over 100 to 300 sqm

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.

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.

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.

The stall count above sums the centres NEA says are trading.
