SALES volumes are down but prices are firm in what is the creme de la creme of the commercial shophouse market – Central Business District (CBD) shophouses.
The average transacted unit price on land area of CBD shophouses climbed by nearly 18 per cent to S$11,098 per square foot (psf) in 2023 from S$9,434 psf in 2022, said PropNex Realty’s head of research and content, Wong Siew Ying.
Shophouses in the CBD refer to those that are located in Districts 1 and 2, which include the Downtown Core areas of Raffles Place, Boat Quay, Tanjong Pagar, Neil Road, Kreta Ayer and Chinatown.
