square foot

In Singapore property, “square foot” (often written as sq ft) is a standard unit of measurement for the size of residential and commercial properties. When browsing property listings, floor areas such as 900 sq ft or 1,200 sq ft refer to the total internal size of the unit. Pricing on a per square foot basis—commonly called “price per square foot” or “psf”—is widely used to compare the relative value of properties across different developments, locations, and property types. This psf pricing gives buyers and investors a clearer understanding of true unit value and aids in making informed comparisons.

Over the years, the average size of new condos in Singapore has changed; for example, the average size was around 1,272 sq ft in 1995 and about 929 sq ft in 2024. Regulatory changes, such as minimum size requirements outside the Central Area, have also impacted typical floor areas for new developments.
