Art Deco Style
By the mid 1900s, modern advances in technology in the world as well as post war economy started to exert influence on shophouse architecture. As the world was introduced to airliners, ships, and motocars, shophouses also began to reflect the wonders of the Machine Age. The organically inspired ornamentation of the earlier period was discarded in favour of more streamlined designs, curved corners and strong horizontal lines. Geometric shapes, zigzag roofs and flagpoles were also common.
Where Can You Find Them?
Other than Tiong Bahru, Art Deco shophouses can be found in Bukit Pasoh-most notably the Dong Ya building, which now houses Potato Head. An adaptive form of Art Dec, termed Tropical Deco can also be found in shophouses along Club Street and Cavan Road.

How to read these figures
Medians describe the transactions in this view, not a valuation or a change in every home’s value. Middle 50% is the 25th–75th percentile, shown only with at least five observations; smaller groups are flagged. Minima and maxima are available in the breakdown tables. Percentiles use linear interpolation.
Price and PSF statistics include only sales explicitly recorded as one unit. Bulk sales and records with an unknown unit count remain in the detailed table when All unit sizes is selected. PSF uses unrounded strata area; size bands use rounded square feet. A size band does not identify bedrooms, penthouses, layout or unit condition.
Rental bedrooms are as reported; missing or non-numeric values are Not stated. Rental sizes are ranges. Rents and sales are separate samples: no project yield or exact rental PSF is inferred.

Your enquiry will include the property, page URL and transaction filters shown above. Yield-calculator amounts are excluded.
Test your assumptions
Rental yield calculator
Enter a purchase price and monthly rent for the same home. Results update as you type. Your assumptions stay in this page while you change transaction filters; they are not submitted or saved.
Rental reference in the selected view: median S$3,560 / month from 28 contracts. These contracts may cover different-sized homes. Check the bedroom breakdown and records before choosing your rent assumption.
Optional vacancy and running expenses
Blank expense fields count as zero. Enter annual costs for the full year; they are not reduced during vacancy.
Enter purchase price and monthly rent to calculate.
Annual income after entered expenses = monthly rent × (12 − vacant months) − monthly maintenance × 12 − annual property tax − other annual running costs. Yield after entered expenses divides that income by purchase price.
Results use your assumptions and are indicative, before financing and personal income tax. The denominator excludes stamp duties, legal fees, renovation, furnishing and other acquisition costs. Include recurring insurance, repairs and letting costs in other running costs where relevant. No appreciation, mortgage repayment or return on equity is calculated. Historical rental contracts do not guarantee future rent or occupancy.
History and activity
How transactions changed over time
Monthly · Oct 2025 – Sep 2026
The active filters also apply here. Value axes start at zero and adjust to the selected records; check their labels when comparing views. Each point shows a period median; the bars below count recorded sales or rental contracts. Different sale types and rental bedroom counts have separate series. These changes can reflect the mix of homes transacted, rather than appreciation of an individual home.
