Affected market
Redevelopment proposals submitted to URA from 4 April 2022 under the CBD Incentive Scheme, for predominantly office developments at least 20 years old in selected parts of Anson, Cecil Street, and Robinson Road, Shenton Way and Tanjong Pagar, and under the Strategic Development Incentive Scheme, for predominantly commercial developments at least 20 years old in strategic areas outside those parts. Proposals submitted earlier, and property transactions, are outside it.
Primary source
Update to Rejuvenation Incentive Schemes for Strategic Areas: Central Business District (CBDI) Incentive Scheme Strategic Development Incentive (SDI) Scheme

On 4 April 2022 URA revised the conditions attached to every redevelopment proposal submitted from that date under the CBD Incentive and Strategic Development Incentive schemes. It stated that the incentives and the qualifying criteria did not change. Redevelopments must reach Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy, provide electric vehicle charging, with at least 15% of car park lots ready for a charger and at least 1% of lots fitted within that, and may not strata subdivide their commercial component into individual units. Selected key sites face a Design Advisory Panel review. CBD Incentive residential units of at least 100 sqm may take more parking than the lower bound. The circular stated an effective period ending 26 November 2024.

Methodology5 rules
  • Comparison anchored to effective date: 4 April 2022. 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.
