Under the CBD Incentive Scheme, predominantly office developments in selected parts of Anson, Cecil Street, and Robinson Road, Shenton Way and Tanjong Pagar that meet a minimum site area.

- Primary source
- Circular URA/PB/2019/02-CUDG, Circular Package: Rejuvenation Incentives for Strategic Areas
On 27 March 2019 URA introduced two rejuvenation incentives with the Draft Master Plan 2019. The Strategic Development Incentive Scheme, in effect that day, lets owners of older commercial buildings in strategic areas seek deviations from GPR, use and height, judged proposal by proposal with no fixed bonus. The CBD Incentive Scheme, in effect from the Master Plan 2019 gazette, allows office buildings at least 20 years old in parts of Anson, Cecil Street and the Robinson Road area to convert to mixed use with up to 30% more intensity for residential with ground-floor commercial and 25% for other options. URA also said the Bonus Plot Ratio scheme would end with the gazette.

Methodology5 rules
- Comparison anchored to effective date: 27 March 2019. The anchor is the effective date where one is recorded, otherwise the announcement date.
- The windows are the same number of days on each side of the anchor, and the anchor day belongs to the after window.
- A series counts toward a window only for observation periods wholly inside it, with values as originally recorded, not as later revised.
- Where no whole period falls inside a window, no value and no difference is stated; a day no whole period covers is missing, never zero.
- Concurrent land sales and archive events are listed by date alone. Nothing on this page is attributed to the event.
