In this episode of Nuggets On The Go, Melvin Lim dissects the shifting dynamics of Singapore’s Core Central Region through the lens of District 7. As recent years have seen RCR and OCR prices converge with CCR, Melvin explores how this region disparity opens up a recalibration in investor thinking.

District 7’s transformation—through major rejuvenation efforts across Bugis, Beach Road and the Golden Mile precinct—signals a new era for the CCR, beyond Orchard and River Valley. With references to mixed‑use ecosystems, master plan transformation and urban rejuvenation, the team explores why D7—once seen as a cultural fringe—now holds weight in CCR investing conversations, shaping D7’s rising prominence in the core.

Those navigating core region pricing, rental viability or long-term CCR positioning will find practical insights in this episode.
