Top picks at a glance

Best buys in this portfolio

Lowest entry quantum
S$1,258,400

Basement, 484 sqft (S$2,600 psf) — the lowest quantum in the portfolio. Three units share this exact size and price.

Best yield
~3.46% gross

Basement, 635 sqft, Chinese TCM tenancy, S$1,651,000 — the highest yield of the 23 lease groups on offer. Portfolio blended average is ~2.6%; see the full unit-by-unit breakdown and yield basis below.

Largest / anchor unit
3,735 sqft

Level 2, café + playground combined, S$11,952,000 (S$3,200 psf) — sold as one unit. The single biggest quantum on offer, suited to a larger-capital buyer.

Picked from the seller's price list and rent roll, both updated 22 Jan 2026, and independently recomputed here — an earlier AI-drafted strategy note in the property folder had misstated two OTHER units' yields (6.53%/6.73%) by attributing a shared lease's full rent to one unit alone; that error does not affect the pick below. Confirm current availability with Andrea before offering.

Yield basis (CEA): gross yield = annual rent as stated above (passing or projected, per the stated basis) ÷ the stated asking price; net yield is after property tax (a flat 10% of Annual Value), MCST/service charge and outgoings. These are historical/indicative, not a forecast or a guarantee of return — verify the tenancy and the IRAS Annual Value independently before relying on them.

A few questions worth asking

Here's the data. The conclusion is yours.

What's rising next door?
Aurea is pricing new homes from ~S$2,750 psf, 250m away

188 homes on a fresh 99-year lease from Nov 2024, TOP not until Q2 2029. City Gate's own retail podium is already built, tenanted and collecting rent today — no multi-year wait for income to start.

What does the foot traffic actually look like?
LTA arrivals peak weekday evenings and weekend early afternoons

~8,001 weekday and ~7,939 weekend bus-stop arrivals within 400m (LTA, directional proxy — not an on-site headcount), shaped by dinner-hour weekday peaks and lunch-hour weekend peaks. That rhythm fits the existing café, F&B and wellness tenant mix rather than a pure 9-to-5 office crowd.

What are you not waiting for?
31 units, tenanted, available together — not a leasing campaign you run yourself

Buying vacant retail means sourcing tenants before any rent lands. Every unit here already has one. The work of finding an operator, negotiating a lease and fitting the space out has already happened.

Office or retail?
Island-wide office vacancy 10.8% vs retail vacancy 6.3% (URA, Q1 2026)

Decentralised strata offices have also resold below their launch-era pricing in recent years. When roughly one in nine office floors sits empty and one in sixteen shop floors does — which queue would you rather be in?

Launch price or market price?
City Gate's own developer sold shop units at ~S$4,202 psf on average (2014-15, 62 units)

Today's entry here is S$2,600-4,200 psf, with tenants already in place. The buyer who overpaid was the 2014 one. Twelve years of price discovery later — who do you think absorbed that correction, you or them?

Can your neighbour undercut you?
Identical strata suites compete on price alone; these units don't

A block of interchangeable office floors has one lever against 100 identical neighbours — rent lower. These units carry distinct trade fit-outs and running tenancies (TCM, bakery, pediatric therapy, beauty). When your unit is a fitted suite with a tenant already inside, what exactly does the empty unit downstairs undercut?

Sourced, past-tense market data. Not a forecast, an assurance of return, or financial advice — verify independently before relying on any figure.

Every one of the 31 units carries an existing tenancy per the seller's rent roll (updated 22 Jan 2026) — grouped below by its actual lease (some neighbouring units share one combined lease, shown as one row). Gross yield = annual rent ÷ asking price for that unit/group. Individual-unit yields run roughly 1.9%–3.5%; the portfolio-wide blended average (total rent ÷ total price, all 31 units) is ~2.6%. These are point-in-time figures from the source rent roll — confirm current occupancy, arrears and lease status before relying on them.

Yield basis (CEA): gross yield = annual rent as stated above (passing or projected, per the stated basis) ÷ the stated asking price; net yield is after property tax (a flat 10% of Annual Value), MCST/service charge and outgoings. These are historical/indicative, not a forecast or a guarantee of return — verify the tenancy and the IRAS Annual Value independently before relying on them.

Straight talk

Objections, turned around

The real number, what it means here, and the question it leaves you with.

“Individual-unit yields run 1.9%-3.5% — that's a wide range”
The portfolio-wide blended average is about 2.6% before MCST and property tax; each unit is individually priced so you can select toward the higher end of that range.
Would you rather buy the blended average, or pick the unit that clears it?
“Why strata retail rather than a strata office?”
URA's Q1 2026 release put island-wide office vacancy at 10.8% against 6.3% for retail; these retail units are also differentiated by existing trade fit-out and tenancy rather than competing head-to-head like identical bare office suites.
Which of those two figures would you rather be underwriting your income with?
"Why not just buy a residential property instead?"
A Singapore Citizen's 2nd residential property at this price pays S$25 in ABSD (IRAS rates as of 2026-07-31); this listing pays S$0.
Would you rather hand that to IRAS, or put it into the asset?
Straight answers

The questions buyers actually ask

Including the trade-offs — buy with eyes open.
How many units are for sale, and can I buy just one?
31 tenanted strata units across Basement, Level 1 and Level 2 are on the market from the same seller. Each is individually priced — you can buy a single unit from S$1.26M, or a larger cluster if you're deploying more capital. Ask Andrea for the current unit-by-unit list (unit numbers are withheld from marketing but shared with qualified buyers).
What's the tenure and how much lease is left?
99-year leasehold from 2014, so roughly 87 years remain as at 2026.
Are the units tenanted, and what's the yield?
Every unit on offer carries an existing tenancy per the seller's Jan 2026 rent roll. Individual-unit gross yields run roughly 1.9%–3.5% depending on the unit; the portfolio-wide blended average is about 2.6% (before MCST and property tax). These are point-in-time figures — confirm current occupancy and lease status before relying on them.
Does GST apply, and is there ABSD?
This is commercial strata title, so there's no ABSD and no Seller's Stamp Duty. Whether GST applies depends on the seller's GST-registration status, which isn't stated on the price list on file — confirm with the seller/your lawyer before offering.
What are the outgoings — MCST, property tax?
MCST + sinking fund is charged at S$2.80 per share value per month (roughly S$700–S$1,900/mo for a typical single unit, more for the larger combined unit). Property tax on non-owner-occupied commercial is a flat 10% of Annual Value; the specific AV per unit isn't on file — confirm with IRAS.
How do I get to City Gate by MRT?
Nicoll Highway MRT (Circle Line) is about a 4-minute walk via a sheltered Level 2 overhead link. Bugis MRT (East-West + Downtown Lines) is a second option, about 12 minutes on foot.
Why strata retail rather than a strata office?
Two data points worth weighing side by side. URA's Q1 2026 release put island-wide office vacancy at 10.8% against 6.3% for retail — office space is sitting empty more than retail is. And a block of identical strata office suites can only compete with each other on rent; these retail units are differentiated by their existing trade fit-out and tenancy, so they aren't competing head-to-head with a bare unit next door the way an empty office floor competes with the one below it. Neither figure is a guarantee — verify current vacancy on URA's own release before relying on it.
“Individual-unit yields run 1.9%-3.5% — that's a wide range”
The portfolio-wide blended average is about 2.6% before MCST and property tax; each unit is individually priced so you can select toward the higher end of that range. Would you rather buy the blended average, or pick the unit that clears it?
