Here are mid-market homes with the highest monthly rents

Rents range from $5.15-5.97psf.

According to Knight Frank, based on URA’s rental statistics as at 23 April 2013, Districts 1, 2 and 9 achieved the highest monthly rents per sq ft at $5.97, $5.49 and $5.15 respectively.

Besides the premium locations, properties for lease in these three districts tend to be of smaller sizes, resulting in higher rent per sq ft. This pattern had not changed since URA rental data made available in 1Q 2012.

Here's more from Knight Frank:

As per previous quarter, Districts 9, 10 and 15 have the highest leasing volume in the first two months of 1Q 2013 with 782 cases for districts 9 and 10 each and 758 cases for district 15.

Meanwhile, the most affordable rents were found in Districts 27 and 28 (Seletar, Yishun and Sembawang areas) with average monthly rents of $2.70 and $2.44 per sq ft, respectively, in the first two months of 1Q 2013.

However, these two districts were also among those with the lowest numbers of leasing volume; which were mainly attributed to less attractive locations.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
