What is the CCR in Singapore real estate

The Core Central Region (CCR) refers to the most central and prestigious residential areas in Singapore. It is defined by the Urban Redevelopment Authority and includes:

- District 9 (Orchard, River Valley, Cairnhill)
- District 10 (Bukit Timah, Holland Road, Tanglin)
- District 11 (Newton, Novena)
- Key parts of the Downtown Core and Marina Bay
- Sentosa and select areas within the city centre

Properties in the CCR are highly sought after for their prime locations, luxury amenities, proximity to the Central Business District (CBD), and prestigious addresses. The CCR attracts high-net-worth individuals, expatriates, and investors looking for premium property due to limited supply and consistent demand for central city living. Recent years, especially 2025, have seen renewed interest and investment in the CCR as price gaps between the CCR and other regions (such as the Rest of Central Region and Outside Central Region) have narrowed. Buyers are drawn by status, connectivity, convenience, and potential for long-term value appreciation.
