Outside Central Region (OCR)

Singapore's most affordable and highest-yielding residential region, the OCR spans Districts 16 through 28 — covering major towns like Jurong East, Tampines, Woodlands, Punggol, and Sengkang. Averaging SGD $1,545 PSF (Q1 2025) with rental yields of 3.5-4.0% (the highest in Singapore), the OCR grew 3.7% in 2024 and is forecast to lead all regions at 2.8-3.0% in 2026. Backed by massive government infrastructure investment including the Jurong Lake District second CBD, Punggol Digital District, and new MRT lines, the OCR represents Singapore's most compelling long-term growth story.
